How much do NEMT brokers charge?
NEMT broker fees vary based on distance, transport type, and specific needs. At AllCare, we coordinate ambulatory, wheelchair, and stretcher transport at competitive rates. Long-distance quotes are available by calling (386) 864-7145. Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, may cover non-emergency medical transport costs. We work directly with facilities and families to ensure transparent pricing with no hidden fees, providing detailed quotes before any service begins.
What is the difference between a NEMT broker and a direct transport provider?
A NEMT broker like AllCare coordinates transportation services by connecting patients with qualified transport providers in our vetted network. We handle scheduling, provider selection, and quality assurance, ensuring you receive the right vehicle and trained staff for your specific needs. This gives you access to a wider range of transport options across Florida while maintaining consistent quality standards through our approved vendor status and rigorous provider vetting process.
What areas do you serve in Florida?
We coordinate medical transport throughout Florida with special focus on Flagler County, Palm Coast, St. Augustine, Daytona, Volusia County, St. John's County, Putnam County, Seminole County, Orange County, Orlando, New Smyrna Beach, Deland, Sanford, Palatka, Gainesville, Deltona, and Alachua County. We also arrange long-distance transport across state lines. Our 16 years serving Central Florida communities means we understand local traffic patterns, hospital locations, and the fastest routes to get you there on time.
Are your transport providers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every provider in our network is fully licensed for medical transport in Florida and carries comprehensive commercial and general liability insurance. All drivers are CPR/First Aid certified and PASS certified for wheelchair and stretcher handling. They pass DOT physical examinations, drug tests, and both national and local background checks. This rigorous vetting ensures your safety and gives families peace of mind when choosing AllCare for medical transportation coordination.
Can you arrange transportation on short notice or for emergencies?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. While we're a non-emergency service (not for life-threatening emergencies requiring 911), we specialize in fast-response coordination for urgent medical appointments, unexpected hospital discharges, and time-sensitive therapy sessions. Our extensive provider network across Florida allows us to arrange same-day transport when needed, ensuring you never miss critical medical care due to transportation challenges.
What types of medical appointments can you provide transport for?
We coordinate transport to all medical appointments including doctor visits, non-emergency hospital visits, dialysis treatments, X-ray and radiation appointments, stroke rehabilitation, occupational and physical therapy, pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation, dental appointments, and hospice care. We also arrange transport for non-medical occasions like family events, airports, train stations, and special gatherings. If mobility challenges prevent you from driving, we can help you get there safely.
How far in advance should I schedule transport?
While we handle same-day requests when possible, we recommend scheduling at least 48-72 hours in advance for routine appointments. This allows us to coordinate the best provider match for your specific mobility needs and preferred appointment time. For recurring appointments like dialysis or therapy, we can establish a regular schedule, reducing the need to call before each visit and ensuring consistent, reliable service across Flagler and Alachua counties.
Will the same driver transport my loved one each time?
We work to provide consistency whenever possible, as we understand the comfort that familiar faces bring, especially for seniors and individuals with special needs. While we cannot guarantee the exact same driver for every trip due to scheduling variables, all providers in our network share the same commitment to treating your family like their own. Every driver meets our rigorous safety and certification standards, ensuring quality care on every journey regardless of who's behind the wheel.
