How it works
Under CalAIM, California expanded covered transportation to include both NEMT (for members who need a wheelchair, gurney, or other medical transport level) and NMT (non-medical transport for routine ambulatory rides). Coverage typically runs through your Medi-Cal managed care plan - or, for members who need to use a broker network, through a contracted NEMT broker. The rules can be confusing. DayLight will help you figure out which applies to your plan and coordinate booking with the right network.
