What types of vehicles are covered under NEMT insurance?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation insurance typically covers vehicles used to transport individuals who require medical care or assistance but do not have an immediate medical emergency.
The specific types of vehicles covered under NEMT insurance can vary depending on the insurance provider, local regulations, and the level of care required by the patients. However, here are some common types of vehicles that may be covered under NEMT insurance:
Wheelchair Vans
These vehicles are equipped with ramps or lifts to accommodate passengers who use wheelchairs or mobility devices. They provide a convenient way for individuals with limited mobility to access transportation for medical appointments and treatments.
Ambulette or Ambulance Transport Vans
These vehicles are designed to transport patients who require stretcher transportation or medical monitoring during transit but do not have an immediate life-threatening emergency.
Medical Cars
Some NEMT services may include regular passenger cars that have been modified to accommodate passengers with medical needs. These cars may have additional space for medical equipment or offer a more comfortable and accessible interior.
Stretcher Vans
These vehicles are equipped to transport patients who need to lie flat on a stretcher during transit. They are often used for individuals who cannot sit up due to medical conditions.
Gurney Vans
Similar to stretcher vans, gurney vans are designed to transport patients on gurneys or stretchers. They are often used for patients who require medical monitoring during transport.
Minibuses or Shuttle Vans
In some cases, NEMT services may use larger vehicles, such as minibuses or shuttle vans, to transport multiple patients at once. These vehicles are often used by healthcare facilities to transport groups of patients for treatments or appointments.
Volunteer Driver Vehicles
Some NEMT services may use regular passenger vehicles driven by volunteers to transport patients. These vehicles may be used for individuals who do not require specialized medical transportation but still need assistance getting to their appointments.
It's important to note that the specific coverage and vehicle types can vary based on regional regulations and insurance policies. Consult with a Cluett underwriter for questions regarding the types of vehicles that can be covered.
