What Is Non Emergency Medical Transportation
Non Emergency Medical Transportation, commonly known as NEMT, is a transportation service designed to help individuals travel to and from medical appointments when an ambulance or emergency medical care is not required. In California, NEMT is intended for patients who are medically stable but need assistance accessing healthcare services safely and reliably.
NEMT plays an important role in rural and coastal communities, including Del Norte County, where access to healthcare facilities may require longer travel distances. These services help reduce missed appointments and support continuity of care for patients who do not have reliable transportation.
