In the healthcare industry, non-emergency medical transportation is a novel approach. It is defined as a medical transportation service provided to persons who require medical attention but do not have a critical (i.e. serious) health condition. Non-emergency medical transportation is usually reserved for the elderly or those who are physically or mentally challenged and widely known to serve Medicaid beneficiaries in US. Non-emergency medical transportation can be picked up and dropped off for free or for a fee. This mode of transportation is used frequently for checkups, scans, OPD visits, and pathology testing, among other things.
