NEMT & Travel Training Webinar:

The goal of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is simple: ensure eligible members get to their medical appointments safely and on time using the most appropriate mode of transportation for their physical and cognitive needs. Travel training—a method of teaching transit skills to older adults and individuals with disabilities—offers NEMT brokers and their state, county, and health plan clients an opportunity to achieve this goal while maximizing public transit use among Medicaid and Medicare members.

A tool that has long been recognized as valuable to transit agencies, travel training helps members successfully navigate and utilize fixed route public transportation on their own. By teaching members how to safely access public transit for travel to medical appointments, NEMT brokers and their clients can effectively lower NEMT costs, improve member independence, and increase community access.
