Technology-Enabled Transportation Puts Health Plans in the Driver’s Seat To Improve Outcomes

When members have access to reliable, technology-first NEMT solutions, they are three times more likely to show up to appointments.

In a compelling article published in MedCity News, FCA Health Innovations portfolio company CEO, Robbins Schrader highlights how technology-enabled non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is reshaping the way health plans think about access, outcomes, and cost control. As he explains, millions of Americans rely on transportation to keep essential medical appointments - and when that access breaks down, patient care suffers and costs rise.

The piece argues that health plans that embed digital, on-demand NEMT systems can meaningfully reduce no-shows, improve preventive care adherence, and strengthen patient satisfaction. Transparent reporting, dynamic ride matching, and seamless user interfaces are not just “nice to have” - they become strategic levers in controlling downstream costs and enhancing value-based care.
