SNF NEMT Partnership
NEMT for Skilled Nursing Facilities
Wheelchair, stretcher, and Broda Traversa transport for medical appointments, specialist consults, therapy sessions, and diagnostic imaging. Standing orders and monthly invoicing.
SNF Patient Transport Needs
Skilled nursing facility patients require transport for a wide range of medical appointments. Most need wheelchair or stretcher service with door-through-door assistance.
Medical Appointments
Primary care visits, specialist consults, lab work, and follow-up appointments at hospitals and clinics.
Hospital Follow-Ups
Post-hospitalization follow-up appointments, surgical wound checks, and post-discharge specialist visits.
Therapy Sessions
Outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy at external rehab facilities.
Diagnostic Imaging
MRI, CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound, and other diagnostic imaging at hospital radiology departments and imaging centers.
Specialist Consults
Cardiology, nephrology, pulmonology, orthopedics, neurology, and other specialist appointments.
Dialysis Treatment
Recurring hemodialysis sessions for SNF patients with ESRD — standing orders with will-call return transport.
Service Levels for SNF Patients
The majority of skilled nursing facility patients require wheelchair or stretcher transport. Unlike ambulatory patients, SNF residents often have mobility limitations that require specialized vehicle equipment and trained driver assistance.
Door-through-door service is the minimum standard for SNF transports. This means our driver assists the patient from inside the facility — the nursing unit, lobby, or designated pickup area — to the vehicle, throughout the transport, and from the vehicle to inside the destination facility. This exceeds curb-to-curb service and ensures patient safety during every phase of the transfer.
For patients with complex positioning needs, we offer Broda Traversa wheelchair transport. The Traversa provides tilt-in-space positioning that standard wheelchairs cannot achieve, accommodating patients with contractures, pressure injury risk, or postural instability. Our vehicles are equipped with securement systems specifically designed for Traversa wheelchairs.
Service levels can be adjusted per patient as medical needs change. A patient who arrives at the SNF via stretcher from the hospital may progress to wheelchair transport as rehabilitation proceeds, and potentially to ambulatory transport before discharge.
Recurring Schedule Management
Many SNF patients have recurring transport needs — weekly therapy sessions, bi-weekly specialist visits, three-times-per-week dialysis. Standing orders eliminate the need to rebook each trip individually.
Your facility provides the recurring schedule once. We program each patient's pickup time, destination, service level, and equipment needs. Transport dispatches automatically on scheduled days. Schedule changes, cancellations, and new patient additions are handled with a single call to our dispatch line.
For on-demand transports — unscheduled specialist consults, urgent imaging, or hospital follow-ups — your nursing staff calls our facility dispatch line directly. No broker hold queue. Average response time for on-demand SNF pickups is under 60 minutes.

Billing & Payment Options
Facility Invoicing: Monthly net-30 invoicing with itemized trip details. Your billing department receives a single invoice covering all patients transported during the billing period.
Medicaid Coordination: For Medicaid-eligible patients, we handle prior authorization, trip documentation, and billing directly with the appropriate MCO. Your staff does not need to manage transport authorizations for Medicaid patients.
Private Pay: For patients with non-covered transport needs — family visits, personal errands, or trips not covered by insurance — private pay options are available. Billing can go to the patient, family member, or facility depending on your arrangement.
