NEMTAC® offers the only national accreditation program made just for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) providers. Getting accredited by NEMTAC shows that your company follows the highest standards in safety, service, and professionalism.

Accreditation is more than just a certificate—it proves your organization is committed to doing things the right way. It shows you care about your passengers, follow the rules, and always aim to provide safe, reliable transportation.

Our accreditation process is detailed and often goes beyond what most state or local rules require. Being accredited can help your company grow, lower your risks, and help you stand out in your community and the industry.

Some states have already recognized the value of NEMTAC Accreditation. For example, the state of Mississippi accepts NEMTAC Accreditation as an alternative to a state license. In Minnesota, brokers offer special incentives to providers who earn accreditation before January 31st each year. These policies help improve the quality and safety of NEMT services for the people in those states.

We are also actively working with other states to implement similar programs, where NEMTAC Accreditation could be recognized as a trusted alternative to traditional state licensure. These ongoing efforts are helping to strengthen standards and improve service quality nationwide.

To begin the process, your organization should review the NEMTAC Accreditation Handbook. This handbook helps you understand the requirements and lets you evaluate if your company is ready to apply. NEMTAC only approves up to five organizations per month, so each review gets careful attention. The number of spots available is reviewed regularly by our Board of Directors.

It’s important to know that our survey team does not give advice or help companies get ready. Their job is to fairly evaluate your organization based on the standards in the handbook. If you find yourself often asking, “Is this okay?” during the process, it may mean your organization needs to prepare more before applying.

Earning NEMTAC Accreditation means your organization already meets high national standards for safety, service, and professionalism. It’s not just about passing a test—it’s about showing that your team is already doing excellent work every day.
