Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) refers to safe, scheduled transportation services for individuals who need support getting to medical appointments but do not require emergency medical attention. Unlike 911 ambulance transport, NEMT is arranged in advance and designed to ensure patients reach their healthcare visits comfortably, on time, and without stress.

For many people in Massachusetts—especially seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those managing chronic health conditions—NEMT is not just a convenience; it is an essential lifeline. Whether attending routine check-ups, dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, imaging appointments, or outpatient procedures, dependable transportation directly impacts health outcomes.

Why NEMT Services Are Essential

High-quality NEMT services offer numerous benefits for both patients and healthcare systems:

• Improves Access to Healthcare:Many patients miss appointments simply because they have no reliable transportation. NEMT removes this barrier, ensuring individuals stay consistent with their treatment plans.

• Enhances Comfort and Safety:Professional NEMT providers use specialized vehicles—such as wheelchair vans and ambulatory cars—and trained staff to ensure every passenger travels safely and securely.

• Reduces Stress and Anxiety:Medical appointments can be overwhelming. Having a trained, compassionate driver reduces transportation-related worry and allows patients to focus on their health.

• Prevents Costly Emergency Visits:Regular attendance at medical appointments prevents complications and reduces hospitalizations and emergency room visits—ultimately saving patients, families, and healthcare systems significant costs.
