NEMTAC has opened applications for a new Preparedness & Response Advisory Committee (PRAC) focused on strengthening coordination between Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), EMS, Mobile Integrated Health, Community Paramedicine, healthcare systems, and other low-acuity response programs.

This committee will support NEMTAC's role in developing standards and education for the NEMT industry, ensuring that NEMT organizations are properly trained and prepared to meet the operational needs of EMS agencies and healthcare partnersโ€”while maintaining clear boundaries between EMS response and NEMTโ€™s non-emergency scope.

Key focus areas include:
โ€ข Improving operational alignment for low-acuity diversions and alternate destinations
โ€ข Enhancing preparedness and surge coordination between NEMT, EMS, and health systems
โ€ข Strengthening communication and safety practices at EMSโ€“NEMT interface points
โ€ข Identifying opportunities to improve patient safety and system efficiency

If you are a leader in NEMT, EMS, MIH/CP, healthcare operations, public health, or emergency management, we invite you to apply.

Together, we can help ensure the right patient receives the right level of service and the right mode of transportโ€”safely, consistently, and collaboratively.

What a week! We are wrapping up an incredibly productive time at the NAMD Conference, connecting with leaders who are shaping the future of Medicaid.

It was a privilege for NEMTACยฎ to participate in discussions that reaffirmed the essential role of collaboration between NAMD and partners.

The focus was clear: strengthening connections to ensure state programs have the resources they need to deliver high-quality, reliable mobility solutions.

Strengthening Partnerships for Better Medicaid Mobility

This week, NEMTAC Executive Director Peter Hicks, Board Chair Tanya Woods-Copeland, and Vice Chair Jeremy Scalzi are pleased to be attending the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD) Conferenceโ€”a gathering that consistently brings together the leaders shaping the future of Medicaid coverage, administration, finance, and state program frameworks.

NAMDโ€™s work to equip states with clear, accessible resources across its core focus areas is essential. As the landscape continues to evolve, collaboration between NAMD and NEMTAC becomes increasingly importantโ€”ensuring that high-quality, consistent, and safe Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) remains a reliable link in the healthcare continuum.

For NEMTAC, this week is about listening, learning, and leaning into the long-standing values of partnership and progress. The conversations taking place here help inform accreditation, national standards, and the tools providers need to deliver the best possible care and transportation experience.

Hereโ€™s to building stronger connections, supporting state programs, and driving mobility solutions forwardโ€”one thoughtful conversation at a time.
