NEMT Dispatching Services
Ensure safe, timely, and compassionate transportation for patients while removing the operational burden from your team. CallNova’s NEMT dispatching service is built for non-emergency medical transportation providers who need reliable call handling, intelligent routing, and strict compliance — 24/7. Whether you run a small local NEMT operator or a large regional provider, our dispatch service for NEMT scales to your needs and helps you deliver on-time care with dignity.
Why NEMT dispatch matters?
Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is a critical link between patients and healthcare. Missed pickups, long waits, or poor coordination can delay care, harm patient outcomes, and damage a provider’s reputation. NEMT operations face unique challenges: wheelchair accessibility, stretcher requirements, assistance needs, strict pickup windows, and regulatory reporting.
A professional NEMT dispatch function ensures proper vehicle assignment, driver training alignment, and timely communications — all while keeping records necessary for audits and payer requirements. Outsourcing your NEMT dispatch to an experienced partner like CallNova reduces errors, improves on-time performance, and ensures patients arrive to appointments safely and on time.
Never miss a ride. Our NEMT dispatch service provides reliable 24/7 coverage, 365 days a year. Book your guaranteed ride anytime, day or night, for prompt and professional service.
Expert call handling is the heartbeat of efficient NEMT dispatch. Our trained professionals meticulously coordinate every detail—from precise pickup times to specific passenger needs—ensuring clear communication, compassionate service, and flawless scheduling for a smooth, reliable ride every time. Your clients’ journey begins with us.
Real-time dispatching ensures your medical transport is precisely coordinated. We use advanced software to track vehicle locations, match the closest available driver, and provide instant ETAs. This maximizes efficiency, reduces wait times, and guarantees reliable, timely trips for all your healthcare transportation needs.
NEMT dispatch services streamline scheduling and routing, cutting fuel and labor costs. Efficient software reduces administrative overhead and minimizes no-shows. Optimized routes save time and vehicle wear. Bulk booking discounts and automated processes further lower expenses, maximizing your budget while ensuring reliable patient transportation.
