Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)
At Norway Health Center, we understand that access to reliable transportation is essential for maintaining your health. That’s why we offer personalized Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services to ensure our patients can reach their medical appointments without barriers. As part of our commitment to holistic care, our NEMT program is tailored to meet the unique needs of patients enrolled in Medical Assistance, helping them stay connected to vital healthcare services.
What is NEMT?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a transportation service designed to help individuals enrolled in Medical Assistance access non-emergency medical appointments and healthcare services. The program ensures that people who face barriers to transportation can still receive necessary medical care, improving their overall health outcomes.
Who qualifies for NEMT?
To qualify for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), individuals must be enrolled in Medical Assistance or, in certain cases, MinnesotaCare, and require transportation to access non-emergency medical appointments or Medicaid-covered services such as doctor visits, therapy sessions, dialysis, or pharmacy trips. Applicants must lack reliable transportation options, such as a personal vehicle or access to public transit. The type of NEMT provided depends on the individual's medical condition and mobility needs, ranging from access transportation like taxis and public transit to Special Transportation Services (STS) for those requiring wheelchair-accessible or specially equipped vehicles.
What We Do
At Norway Health Center, our Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) program is more than just a ride—it’s a commitment to breaking down barriers to healthcare. We tailor our transportation services to meet the unique needs of each patient, ensuring seamless access to essential medical appointments such as doctor visits, therapy sessions, and pharmacy trips. By integrating NEMT with our comprehensive health services, we create a cohesive care experience that empowers our patients to focus on their health without the worry of transportation.
