Using NEMT Services vs. Renting a Private Vehicle

For many mobility-challenged individuals, attending critical medical appointments becomes a significant hurdle due to inadequate transportation options. Traditional vehicle rentals incur steep costs related to gas, security deposits, and rental fees, and often lack ADA compliance. These vehicles can be inconvenient as they require transfers that are not wheelchair or stretcher accessible. Furthermore, hiring an additional driver adds to the expense. Consequently, missed medical appointments can lead to poor health management, negatively impacting patients’ wellbeing. Without effective and affordable transportation, these individuals face higher missed appointment rates, resulting in deteriorated health and increased long-term medical costs. This lack of reliable transportation compromises both personal health outcomes and broader community welfare.

BahaCare Transport Ltd. offers an innovative solution through their Non-emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) service, specifically designed for individuals with mobility challenges. Their service provides ADA-compliant ambulant, wheelchair, and stretcher transportation, ensuring clients can attend medical appointments without the added costs or inconveniences associated with traditional vehicle rentals. By facilitating seamless trips in specialty equipped vehicles, BahaCare eliminates the need for transfers and additional drivers, offering a cost-effective and accessible option.

Exemplary customer service and accessibility are achieved through a variety of channels: internet access for transport service requests, toll-free telephone lines, and 24-hour access for urgent trips. Their commitment extends to accommodating same-day reservations and pre-scheduled appointments up to five days in advance. BahaCare uses the most appropriate and cost-effective transport modes to meet client needs, ensuring timely responses to inquiries and complaints, and promptly communicating any changes in schedules.
