United Medical Transportation Providers Group

Positioning your NEMT Business for Hospital Discharges

Hospital and emergency room case managers are notorious for upcoding to more quickly discharge patients by ambulance. Although convenient for case managers and profitable for ambulance providers, the problem is this strategy costs Medicare 7-10 times the amount as compared to using an NEMT provider. This waste can trigger CMS audits which can cost the hospital serious time and HR resources. It is better for hospitals to use NEMT providers for non-emergency transportation discharges.

Focus on greater ROI Medical Transportation Opportunities

NOT ALL PATIENTS ARE ON MEDICAID! STOP LEAVING SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY BEHIND!

So many Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) providers are focused exclusively on Medicaid work, either working directly to Social Services or through a Medicaid Broker, because reimbursements are guaranteed through the government. However, they are completely neglecting the dramatically higher rates of reimbursement from private pay and direct-pay contracted work.

See the results below, but test for yourself. Do an online search for "What percentage of the US population is on Medicaid?" The answer you'll find is ONLY 18.9% as of 2023. That's less than 1 in 5 people being on Medicaid, so why would you build your business around less than 20% of the market? It makes no sense!

Continue with another search, "What percentage of the US SENIOR population is on Medicaid?" The answer is ONLY 7% as of 2022 and it actually dropped to 6% by 2024. This means that, while the elderly population is exponentially growing, the percentage of seniors on Medicaid is in decline, yet many NEMT providers are still fixated exclusively on Medicaid seniors and broker work while neglecting all the additional NEMT type of transports and contracted opportunities.

Most NEMT providers are fixated on Medicaid broker work which leaves greater ROI trips for you!

MUST SEE Images Below! Do NOT Do What Your Competitors are Doing!

A client-provider recently shared the below images that he personally took of a competitor loading a patient on a stretcher into a minivan.

The two side-by-side images are those images (name of the company blocked out) featuring the driver loading a patient on a stretcher into the minivan. The single image further below IS NOT the same van, but it illustrates how minivans can literally fold up like a tin can when rear ended. In looking at these three images and the proximity of the patients head to the rear of the door it is not hard to determine how utterly catastrophic a rearending accident could be for patients and passengers.

Again, to reiterate, the minivan involved in the accident above is NOT the same minivan featuring the patient on the stretcher being loaded.

Sharing this devastating image is strictly for demonstration purposes and to bring proper perspective to what can potentially happen in the event of such a horrific accident.

All too often we hear "But this is how my competitors do it," or "Well, I don't know, my competitor has 25 vehicles, and this is what they drive," or "This is how they pay their employees," etc. The moral of the story is "Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean it's the RIGHT WAY to do it."

Learn from the mistakes of others to include your competitors. All too often medical transportation providers cut corners in an effort to save time and money, but doing so exposes you and your passengers to great liability. It is not worth the risk!
