Why Facilities Choose Direct Provider Transport

Broker-dispatched NEMT creates delays, communication gaps, and inconsistent service. A direct provider partnership eliminates all three.

Reduce Readmissions

Patients who miss follow-up appointments are 10x more likely to be readmitted. Reliable transport closes the gap between discharge and follow-up care.

Faster Discharges

Average discharge-to-departure time under 45 minutes. No 2-hour waits for broker-dispatched transport. Free up beds faster.

Standing Orders

One setup call covers your entire recurring patient panel. No rebooking per session. Automatic dispatch on schedule.

Direct Communication

Your discharge coordinator calls our dispatch directly. No broker middleman. No hold queue. Real-time transport status updates.
