The private pay industry is huge: An estimated 20% of health centers are currently either in need of or are dissatisfied with their current transportation provider.*
In private pay, health centers fund the transportation for their clients that don’t have Medicaid out of pocket. Some health centers bill private insurance for transportation costs and then pay providers directly from those funds. In other cases, such as with some nursing homes, they refer their residents to trusted and reputable medical transportation companies. Private pay isn’t exclusively limited to NEMT services, however. Many providers think “outside the box”, seeking contracts from prisons, cruise line companies, and even small towns.
Almost all health centers have rigid policies and procedures that require documentation of expenses, including itemized billing receipts. Unfortunately, many providers market and struggle to obtain contracts, not realizing that the health center most likely requires the provider to be utilizing a booking platform that is guaranteed to be free of human-error in regard to pricing.
