NEMT vs NMT

Two Services, One Trusted Provider

MEDIX Transportation sits at the intersection of two essential services: NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transportation) and NMT (Non-Medical Transportation). Both play distinct but vital roles in keeping people mobile, independent and connected and we provide both.

The short answer: NEMT is for getting patients to healthcare destinations doctor visits, dialysis, chemotherapy, therapy and discharges with a focus on comfort and safety for those with mobility or health needs. NMT is for everyday, non-medical travel airport transfers, relocation, shopping and social outings. MEDIX offers both across Santa Clarita and Los Angeles.
