Non-Emergent Medical Transport or NEMT is an an important and obvious solution, but the system has struggled historically with cost containment and program integrity challenges from the payer side and service inadequacy complaints from beneficiaries.

​We’re joined by Buck Poropatich, VP of Lyft Healthcare, to discuss what the NEMT business looks like operationally, what they’re seeing and hearing from states and payers about needs, and where NEMT is headed in the coming years.
