다른 이동 수단이 없는 Medi-Cal 가입자를 위한 무료 진료 이동. NEMT란 무엇인지, 자격 요건과 시작 방법을 알아보세요.
What is 비응급 의료 이동?
비응급 의료 이동 (NEMT) is a benefit provided to Medi-Cal members who need help getting to and from medical appointments. Unlike ambulance services used for emergencies, NEMT is for scheduled medical visits where you don't need emergency care but do need a way to get there.
NEMT covers a wide range of medical appointments including doctor visits, specialist appointments, dialysis treatments, physical therapy sessions, pharmacy trips, lab work, mental health visits, and other medically necessary healthcare services.
In California, NEMT is a covered benefit under Medi-Cal. This means eligible members pay nothing — the transportation is completely free.
