Who Needs Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) in Arizona?

What is Non-Emergency Medical Transportation?

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is defined as a transportation service for individuals that need transportation for medical appointments, procedures, testing, discharge, or other non-emergency medical situations.

According to the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA), approximately 3.6 million Americans miss or delay medical care because they lack appropriate transportation to their appointments. Non-emergency medical transportation is essential for those who are older or have disabilities who have no transportation to access healthcare services.
