Minnesota NEMT

Transportation · Minnesota · Free

Non-emergency medical transportation for Minnesota Medicaid recipients via state Medicaid. Relevant when a senior is missing appointments because transportation is the bottleneck. Volunteer driver programs typically need 48 hours' notice and ask for a small donation; many also escort the senior in and out of appointments. Volunteer driver programs are often run by faith-based organizations and are open to seniors of any background. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
