What Is Private NEMT Transportation?
Private NEMT (non-emergency medical transportation) is specialized transport for medical appointments that doesn’t accept Medicaid or Medicare.
Instead of government-funded transport with long wait times and shared rides, private NEMT offers premium service for self-pay patients, private insurance holders, and families who want reliable, comfortable transportation to medical appointments.
Our services are a safe solution for a wide range of unique, and often stressful, NEMT transportation challenges, including:
- Family members who can't always take time off work to drive you
- Regular taxis that don't have the right equipment for wheelchairs or other needs
- You've missed appointments because of unreliable rides
- You feel uncomfortable in vehicles not made for medical transport
Jano Med-Ride serves the private-pay market—approximately 20% of patients who choose quality and convenience over free government programs.
Our clients include high-income seniors, international visitors, workers’ compensation cases, and anyone whose private insurance provides transportation reimbursement.
Our 30+ year tradition of transportation excellence across South Florida enables us to provide these services across Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Monroe, Martin & St. Lucie Counties.

FAQ - Commonly Asked Questions About Our NEMT Services
Does insurance cover non-emergency medical transportation?
Yes, many private insurance plans cover or partially reimburse non-emergency medical transportation when it's deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies by policy, but we provide detailed receipts with all necessary information for insurance submission. Unlike Medicaid transport (which we don't accept), private insurance reimbursement typically offers more flexibility in choosing your provider. Contact your insurance company to ask about "non-emergency medical transportation" or "NEMT" benefits under your plan.
How much does private medical transportation cost?
Private medical transportation costs vary based on distance, service type (wheelchair, stretcher, or ambulatory), and any special requirements. Rides in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties start from just $39 for local appointments. Long-distance transports are priced separately. Unlike Medicaid transport (free but with long waits and restrictions), private-pay service offers premium vehicles, professional drivers, flexible scheduling, and direct booking. Contact us for a free quote based on your specific needs.
What's the difference between private NEMT and Medicaid transport?
Private NEMT (like Jano Med-Ride) is self-pay or private insurance-based transportation offering premium service: direct booking, flexible scheduling, professional drivers, modern vehicles, same-day availability, and no shared rides. Medicaid transport is government-funded, free to qualifying patients, but typically involves broker intermediaries, advance booking requirements (often 3-7 days), shared rides, longer wait times, and limited vehicle selection. We serve the 20% of patients who choose quality and convenience over free government programs.
Do you transport wheelchairs?
Yes, Jano Med-Ride specializes in wheelchair transportation for both manual and power wheelchairs. Our ADA-compliant vehicles feature wheelchair lifts and professional securement systems that safely accommodate most standard wheelchairs up to 600 lbs. We handle all loading, securing, and unloading—you don't need to transfer out of your wheelchair. Learn more about our wheelchair transportation services.
Can I book same-day medical transportation?
Yes, Jano Med-Ride offers same-day medical transportation based on availability. Unlike Medicaid transport services that often require 3-7 days advance notice, our private-pay model allows for flexible scheduling. We understand medical needs arise unexpectedly—last-minute specialist appointments, same-day procedures, urgent follow-ups. Call us directly to check same-day availability for your area and service type.
