Good morning,
NEMT providers using broker-integrated software experience 40% faster claim processing and 65% fewer billing errors compared to those relying on manual processes (NEMT Platform, 2025).
For a 50-vehicle operation, that 65% error reduction means significantly fewer billing corrections, dramatically reduced administrative hours, and faster reimbursements.
But the real cost isn't just the billing errors; it's the administrative chaos that managing data across T-MSIS reporting systems, broker platforms (ModivCare, MTM, Access2Care), dispatch software, and EHR integrations creates every single day.
Today's Challenge: The Multi-Platform Data Trap
The Reality Check: Tighter Medicaid and CHIP reporting requirements in 2025 are creating additional hurdles for NEMT providers. Accurate coding and managing data across multiple systems have become more demanding, increasing administrative workloads and operational risks (NEMT Entrepreneur Resources, 2025).
Federal regulations now require mandatory annual state reporting of Core Set measures, and states must submit Network Adequacy and Access Assurance Reports through the new MDCT-Managed Care Reporting web portal beginning July 30, 2025 (Federal Register, 2023).
Is this your daily reality? Let's assess exactly how much fragmented data management is costing your operation.
Takes 2 minutes to book, could significantly reduce your operational costs.
Immediate Impact:
Manual data entry across dispatch, billing, broker portals, and compliance systems
T-MSIS coding errors requiring MANAGED-CARE-PLAN-TYPE and TYPE-OF-CLAIM corrections
Broker-specific format requirements for ModivCare, MTM, and Access2Care submissions
Operational Cascade Effects:
Claim Processing: Providers using manual processes experience 45-60 day reimbursement cycles versus 15-30 days for integrated systems (NEMT Platform, 2025)
Billing Accuracy: The NEMT industry faces unprecedented regulatory scrutiny and billing complexity in 2025, with new HIPAA cybersecurity requirements and stricter fraud prevention measures (NEMT Platform, 2025)
Compliance Risk: Insufficient data collection and oversight create opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse while contributing to late pickups, cancellations, and no-shows (Milliman, 2025)
Why This Matters Right Now
The global NEMT market is expected to reach $11.80 billion in 2025 and grow at a CAGR of 8.81% to reach $17.99 billion by 2030 (Mordor Intelligence, July 2025). With Medicaid transportation spending exceeding $3 billion annually, providers who streamline data management will capture this growth while others drown in administrative complexity.
Bottom Line: Fragmented data management isn't just inefficient; it's becoming a competitive liability as broker integration standards tighten and compliance requirements multiply

Today's Industry Intelligence
Market Growth: The NEMT market is expected to reach $11.80 billion in 2025 and grow at a CAGR of 8.81% to reach $17.99 billion by 2030, driven by an aging population and increasing chronic disease prevalence. - Mordor Intelligence, July 2025
Regulatory Update: Beginning July 30, 2025, states will be able to submit the Network Adequacy and Access Assurance Reports (NAAAR) using the MDCT-Managed Care Reporting (MDCT-MCR) web portal, with mandatory submission required for all rating periods starting on or after July 9, 2025. - CMS Medicaid.gov, Updated August 2025
Broker Consolidation: MTM finalized its acquisition of Access2Care in October 2024, expanding to all 50 states with 1,900 transportation provider partners and 14,000 vehicles, requiring integration of 8.6 million annual trips into MTM's technology platform. - MTM Inc., October 8, 2024
Operational Wisdom
"In 2025, providers who remain siloed will struggle with inefficiencies, patient dissatisfaction, and lower performance scores. Those who adopt EHR-integrated NEMT software will improve operational accuracy and strengthen partnerships with health systems and payers."
— Mindbowser Healthcare Technology Insights, 2025
P.S. - Remember: Large-scale integrations are becoming standard to speed patient throughput and reduce human error. The question isn't whether you'll integrate your data management systems; it's whether you'll do it before your competitors gain the 40% claim processing speed advantage and 65% error reduction that proper integration delivers.
