Hospital readmissions are costly for both patients and healthcare systems. One overlooked factor is transportation—patients who miss follow-up visits or therapy are more likely to be readmitted. Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) helps prevent this by ensuring patients can attend all required post-hospital care appointments. Whether it’s follow-up check-ups, rehabilitation sessions, or lab tests, reliable transport reduces health complications. By lowering readmission rates, NEMT not only improves patient recovery but also helps hospitals save money and comply with healthcare quality standards. It’s a simple yet powerful way to keep patients healthy after discharge.
