You may have loved ones who are elderly or infirm. Their weakened state makes them feeble to the environment, and they may not be able to function on their own, let alone have the strength to drive anywhere. This can be frustrating if they have medical appointments to attend, or have important errands to make and don't have the means to do so. In the event that you are unable to care for their transportation needs, seeking the assistance of a non-emergency medical transportation provider may be the best route.
This concept is similar to a taxi service. The provider can pick up the disabled individual and take them wherever they need to go. However, just as with a taxi service, you want to make sure you are putting the disabled into qualified hands that are legally accredited. There are specific requirements for being allowed to operate as a non-emergency medical transportation provider. You have to acquire the appropriate license and follow all state mandated regulations.
For one, the state will require a prospective driver to get a hold of an appropriate license for transportation. They may also require that the business become a registered, appropriate provider with the state's department of health and human services. Of course, a provider will also be required to carry a large insurance policy. Although the cost of insurance for emergency medical transportation is considerably higher, it will still be expensive to maintain a policy for non-emergency medical transportation. Since private insurance companies usually do not cover these costs, the business will need to become an approved provider with their state's Medicaid office in order to accept Medicaid from clients.
Once all the legal nuts and bolts are taken care of, consider the vehicle the business is operating from. It needs to be in compliance with all state safety regulations and should most likely provide a hydraulic lift for individuals who are in wheelchairs. Some clients may use a cane or a walker instead. Regardless, anyone driving the vehicle should have a clean driving record, proper medical training, and are ready to assist their clients with any problems. Most states have training programs for individuals interested in becoming a non-emergency medical transportation provider.
Anyone interested in this service for themselves or a disabled loved one should contact the state department of health and human services for more information. These businesses often cater to nursing homes, retirement homes, and assisted living facilities. It is a growing industry ready to accommodate the needs of so many elderly ones who can't manage to accomplish important tasks on their own. Remember that in order for it to be a reputable company, the business must be registered and approved by the state, having completed all required licensing procedures. Confirm that your insurance can be paid through the provider. Lastly, verify that any vehicles and equipment are in top-notch, professional working order in compliance with all safety regulations. Non-emergency medical transportation is a helpful alternative.
