Prepare For Every Passenger

Are you in the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) field or have you ever employed the services of a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation provider?

This is a wonderful service and industry that caters to those who cannot otherwise transport themselves between their homes and medical appointments or even other appointments and functions. People with disabilities, mobility impairments, diseases, medical equipment, the elderly, the plus-sized and the infirm may have trouble finding transportation to get the regular and adequate medical care they need.

At the same time, their needs may not be of - and often aren't of - an emergency nature. They just need a ride, not an ambulance ride. However, a regular taxi is often ill-equipped and unprepared to deal gently with the needs of such people, patients and passengers, and so an industry has arisen to assist with their transportation.

Oftentimes, those seeking the services of a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation provider are utilizing the Medicaid system for their medical needs, and in order to be successfully contracted with, NEMT providers must comply with the Medicaid guidelines. While states can choose how to enforce Medicaid guidelines, often they choose to adopt the requirement that NEMT companies must provide 2 Seat Belt Extenders in every vehicle. In addition, larger companies that contract for the work and then utilize smaller NEMT companies to do the work enforce these requirements.

Not only is having Extenders, then, good for one's NEMT business, but also it's good for passengers who may require additional buckling assistance, whether due to their size, age, infirmity, disability or medical equipment.

If you are in the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation field, make sure to equip your vehicles with Seat Belt Extenders to be the best service provider you can be to people who need your help.
