Expectations for NEMT providers

 

We hold our partners to the same high standards of quality that we ourselves maintain. We are partnered with some of the best NEMT Transporters in the business and they share our commitment to quality.

As your customer, we expect you, our NEMT partner, to operate well-maintained vehicles with well-trained, professional drivers who focus on providing transportation that is safe, efficient, and timely. All transporters must meet, maintain, and show compliance with all standards regarding performance, insurance, drivers, and vehicles.

We expect the utmost in courtesy and care for the people who ride with you. We cannot overstate the requirement for sensitivity and respect towards all Riders regardless of gender, race, religion, disability, age, national origin, language, sexual orientation, or appearance.

Along with these important basic requirements, all of our NEMT partners are required to fulfill certain reporting requirements on a frequent basis. These include complaint responses, accident and incident reporting, and other regulatory reporting. We expect all reports to be submitted timely and correctly. These requirements can change unexpectedly from time to time, both in nature and frequency.
