Having Trouble with Your Insurance-Assigned NEMT Provider? Here’s What You Need to Know (and How to Switch)
If you’ve been struggling with non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services assigned by your insurance or workers’ comp plan — you’re not alone. Many patients across Jacksonville, FL and the surrounding areas report frustrating issues like:
-
Late or no-show drivers
-
Unsafe or non-ADA-compliant vehicles
-
Disrespectful or untrained staff
-
Limited appointment flexibility
-
Being forced to go to a clinic that’s “closer” but not better
When you’re dealing with post-surgery recovery, dialysis appointments, physical therapy, or regular treatment sessions, unreliable transportation can become a serious health barrier. But here’s the thing:
You do not have to stay with a transportation provider that doesn’t meet your needs.
Can I Choose My Own NEMT Provider with Workers’ Comp or Medicaid in Florida?
Yes. If you’re covered under Florida Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Veteran Affairs benefits, or a workers’ compensation claim, you are usually entitled to:
-
Transportation to and from approved medical appointments
-
Roundtrip coverage — even multiple times per week
-
The ability to request a change of provider if your current service is unsatisfactory or unavailable
Most people don’t know this — and insurance companies don’t always make it clear.
At JAXNEMT.com, we specialize in stepping in when the system isn’t working for you.
