Why NEMT Insurance Is Different
NEMT businesses transport passengers who may have mobility or medical needs. Underwriters may closely review driver experience, training, vehicle equipment, maintenance, radius, contracts, and prior losses.
Serving NEMT Operators in California
We work with transportation businesses seeking coverage for wheelchair vans and other non-emergency passenger transportation operations. Coverage availability and underwriting depend on the specific operation.
Common NEMT Underwriting Factors
Carriers may evaluate driver experience, MVRs, passenger type, wheelchair lift and securement systems, annual mileage, operating radius, vehicle age and value, maintenance procedures, prior losses, contracts, employee status and whether the operation provides ambulatory, wheelchair or other transportation services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is personal auto insurance enough for NEMT?
Generally, NEMT is a commercial transportation exposure and should be presented accurately to an insurer. Personal auto policies are not designed for many business passenger-transportation operations.
Do wheelchair vans require special underwriting?
Often yes. Vehicle equipment, seating, securement systems, driver training, radius, and passenger use can all affect underwriting.
