What is Non Emergency Medical Transportation Insurance?
Non Emergency Medical Transportation Insurance is a unique type of commercial auto insurance program, designed specifically for para-transit services, and ambulatory transportation. This policy is underwriting according to insurance companies’ classification of pre-scheduled arrangement pick-up.
The NEMT policy is intended specifically for businesses providing door-to-door transportation rides, typically from a customers’ homes to a designated medical facility. NEMT includes transporting disabled people and elderly patients, none of whom are able to drive their own cars to go to medical appointments.
The type of NEMT vehicles we insure:
- Standard sedan vehicle.
- Van equipped with an Ambulance Stretcher.
- Van equipped with a Wheelchair lift or Ramp accessibility.
What are the State of Florida license requirements for NEMT companies:
Para-transit service companies normally get paid by hospitals, medical clinics, medicare, Medicaid, transportation brokers and private pay. Therefore, the State and each local County Government agency have a mandatory order that requires all medical transportation companies to carry a specific N.E.M.T. insurance policy limit that varies from $100,000 to $1,000,000 limits depending the County Insurance requirement, for legal and medical protection of local passengers during transportation.
What type of Insurance do I need for Ambulatory Transportation:
- Auto physical coverage – This coverage reimburses your company in the event of a theft or accident to your vehicle.
- General liability policy – to cover your business against any lawsuit filed by a passenger traveling in your vehicle, against your driver for reckless driving.
- Professional liability Insurance – it covers your legal expenses in the event the passenger is claiming he received wrongful back up emergency medical services served by your employees during patient transportation to hospital. This policy covers Loading & Unloading of Passengers.
- Commercial automobile – This is a necessary policy required by the State of Florida to run your NEMT business , this policy does cover the passengers for any physical injury in the event of an unexpected accident during transportation between the passenger home and the medical facilities.
Does Florida mandate Non Emergency Medical Transportation Insurance?
Yes, Florida’s local government transportation compliance department mandates all active non-emergency medical transportation companies, to carry commercial auto insurance policy, with a minimum limit of $300,000 per policy. The reason for these requirements are:
- What happens if your vehicle accidentally breaks down during a trip and your passenger gets injured in your vehicle?
- What happens if your reckless driver unintentionally injured a passenger riding in your vehicle?
These scenarios can trigger a Liability lawsuit against your company. Risk is something that an insurance policy can help you offset the loss. It is important to evaluate the financial risk your company might face and pursue a proper insurance policy.
