Non-emergency patient ride coordination

Reliable patient rides, coordinated end to end.

NEMT.cz connects healthcare providers, municipalities and care organisations with licensed local carriers. We coordinate the booking, the right ride category, arrival, return trip and exceptions.

We coordinate non-emergency rides. Transport is provided by licensed local partners.

Four partner types, one coordinated workflow

We work with the organisations that carry responsibility for the patient's journey — and with the carriers that actually drive it.

Healthcare providers

Clinics, outpatient centres and hospital departments whose schedule depends on the patient arriving.

  • Rides planned around the appointment time
  • Return trip handled after the visit ends
  • One contact instead of a list of taxi companies

Municipalities & care organisations

Towns, regions, senior homes and home-care providers that arrange transport for residents and clients.

  • Agreed rules on who is eligible for a ride
  • Recurring trips for check-ups and dialysis
  • Ride records for budgeting and reporting

Local transport operators

Licensed taxi, assisted-transport and medical-transport companies looking for planned, predictable work.

  • Scheduled rides, not only ad-hoc demand
  • Ride requirements known before dispatch
  • E-mail and the coordination desk today, API integration on request

Country & white-label partners

Operators who want to run patient ride coordination on their own market under their own brand.

  • You hold the local contracts and operations
  • We supply workflow, software and reporting
  • Market entry starts with one city

Employers and individual patients are a possible future use case, not a market we currently sell to.

This is not a taxi booker with a healthcare logo

Booking a car is the easy part. The work that decides whether the patient actually reaches the appointment happens around it.

Arrival-time planning

The ride is planned backwards from the time the patient has to be at the clinic, not from the moment somebody books.

Ride-needs classification

Every request is classified A to D, so a patient who needs a ramp never gets a standard car.

Multiple carrier options

We are not tied to one fleet. For each ride we choose a carrier that is licensed for what the patient needs.

Primary and backup dispatch

Each launched city has a primary scheduled partner and a backup carrier, so a cancellation does not end the journey.

Return-trip workflow

The return leg stays open as "patient ready" and is dispatched when the visit actually ends.

Patient and family communication

Reminders and confirmations go to the patient or family in their language, not only to the ordering organisation.

Human exception handling

Anything unusual is escalated to a person. Automation never drives an exception on its own.

Audit trail and partner reporting

Every request keeps a record of what was ordered, confirmed and delivered, as a basis for invoicing and review.

What kind of ride does the patient need?

The patient's condition decides which carrier is allowed to drive the ride. We classify every request with the ordering organisation.

Category A — Standard ride

Patient
The patient boards and leaves the vehicle unaided and needs no medical supervision.
Permitted carrier
Licensed taxi or locally authorised ride-hailing service.

Category B — Assisted ride

Patient
The patient needs light help getting in and out, or travels with a folding wheelchair or walker.
Permitted carrier
A vetted carrier with an assistance service and a trained driver. The scope of help is agreed in advance — the driver is not a medical professional and does not lift or carry the patient.

Category C — Wheelchair-accessible ride

Confirmed case by case
Patient
The patient stays in the wheelchair or needs a ramp, a lift and safe wheelchair restraint in the vehicle.
Permitted carrier
A vetted wheelchair-accessible (WAV/TPMR) operator. Availability is confirmed individually for the specific location and date.

Category D — Medical transport

Confirmed case by case
Patient
The patient needs medical supervision, positioning, oxygen or an accompanying medical professional.
Permitted carrier
Only a locally licensed medical transport service. This is not an ordinary taxi service and availability is confirmed individually.

Categories C and D are not available everywhere — we always confirm them for the specific location and date. In an emergency call 112, not us.

Five steps from request to report

1

Request

The provider, municipality or patient sends a ride request by phone or e-mail.

2

Classify

We establish the ride category and what the patient needs on the way.

3

Dispatch

We book a licensed carrier that can serve that category and confirm the time.

4

Monitor

We watch pick-up, arrival and the return leg, and a person handles exceptions.

5

Report

The ordering organisation receives a ride record and the basis for invoicing.

Coordination between the organisation and the road

NEMT.cz does not own vehicles and is not an ambulance service. We sit between the organisation that needs the ride and the carriers licensed to drive it.

Licensed local carriers

What a launched city needs

  • A primary scheduled transport partner
  • A backup local carrier
  • Ride-hailing capacity where it is appropriate and legal
  • A licensed medical transport provider for category D

We publish what is actually running. A country marked as planned means we are looking for partners there — no rides are coordinated yet.

Apply as a transport partner

We are looking for licensed local operators who want planned patient rides with clear requirements.

Who we are looking for

Taxi companies, assisted-transport operators, wheelchair-accessible (WAV) fleets and licensed medical transport providers.

What you need to document

Your transport licence, insurance, vehicle equipment for the categories you serve, and driver training where assistance is offered.

How orders and SLA work

Rides arrive with a required arrival time and ride category. You confirm or decline; a confirmed ride is expected to be served or handed back early enough for a backup.

What data we pass on

Only what the ride needs: pick-up and destination, time, ride category, agreed assistance and a contact for the passenger. No diagnoses.

How you work with us

Today through e-mail and the coordination desk. A partner portal and API integration are set up individually as part of onboarding.

Discuss a country partnership

If you want to run patient ride coordination on your own market, we supply the workflow and the software behind it.

  • You hold local contracts, carrier relationships and day-to-day operations.
  • We supply the coordination workflow, software, automation and reporting.
  • The model can run under your brand, starting with a single city.

What the platform does today

Live means the feature runs today as it is. Set up individually means we deliver it as part of the deployment — the scope and the interfaces are agreed with each partner, so it is not a self-service feature yet.

Live

Multilingual intake

Requests are accepted and handled in Czech and English; German and Polish are handled with translation support.

Live

Human escalation

Anything the automation cannot resolve is handed to a coordinator.

Live

Ride monitoring

Pick-up, arrival and return legs are tracked and confirmed to the ordering organisation.

Live

Invoicing export

Ride records are exported as the basis for invoicing.

Set up individually

Recurring rides

Series of repeating appointments booked as one standing order.

Set up individually

Partner API

REST endpoints and webhooks for carriers and ordering systems.

Set up individually

Audit log

Tamper-evident record of who ordered, changed or cancelled a ride.

Set up individually

Partner reporting

Self-service SLA and volume reports for partners and payers.

Set up individually

Scheduling integration

Booking a ride directly from an appointment in the provider's system.

Data minimisation is part of the design: a ride request carries pick-up, destination, time, ride category and agreed assistance. We do not ask for diagnoses and do not pass them to carriers. The service is designed for GDPR-conscious operation in the EU.

What NEMT.cz is not

  • We coordinate non-emergency rides that can be planned in advance.
  • We are not an ambulance or emergency medical service and we do not provide medical care.
  • We do not assess the patient's medical condition and give no medical advice.
  • Transport is carried out by licensed carriers under their own authorisations.
  • A driver is not a medical professional. The scope of assistance is agreed in advance with the ride category.

In an emergency call 112.

Two ways to start

Whether you need rides for your patients or you drive them, the conversation starts the same way.
