You will feel more like a member of the family than a customer of a taxi, car or limo service when you ride with us. Here is exactly what happens from the first phone call to the moment we walk you back through your door.

So what happens first?

Say you have an accident or get injured on the job and you cannot get around like you used to. Or maybe you are elderly, disabled, or simply do not have access to a car. The first thing to do is contact your insurance company, or check whether your Medicaid plan covers transportation.

1. Contact your insurance company, Medicaid or your local NEMT company

Depending on your state and provider, Medicaid or insurance may cover the cost of your NEMT trip, which makes it far easier to get to the doctor and receive the care you need. If you do not have Medicaid or insurance, most NEMT companies — including JAX NEMT — offer private pay. Also ask whether your plan reimburses trips you pay for out of pocket. That way you can skip long hold times, travel at your convenience, and make every appointment on time. Check our pricing on the trip calculator page before you book.

2. Book a ride with your local NEMT company

After figuring out your coverage, it is time to find a company that fits all of your transportation needs. When it comes to non-emergency medical transportation, you want a reliable, trustworthy provider offering a range of options including wheelchair and stretcher transportation. Unlike rideshare apps, a real NEMT company will not cancel your ride after you book it — and JAX NEMT arrives on time for both pickup and drop-off.

Our professional staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and takes the time to understand each client's individual needs. Alongside superior NEMT service we offer affordable rates, flexible scheduling and responsive customer service.
