Happier, Healthier Members
When high-quality, reliable transportation is provided by a
healthcare organization, the overall cost of healthcare can be
reduced because members are able to better access the healthcare
services that keep them well, including regular visits to their
physician for check-ups, vaccines and other preventive care. It's a
win-win solution for healthcare organizations and their
members.

"…a strong case can be made that improved access to NEMT for transportation-disadvantaged persons is cost-effective in terms of better healthcare. In some cases, this cost-effectiveness translates directly into decreases in healthcare costs that exceed the added transportation costs. In other cases, longer life expectancy or improved quality of life for those suffering from the studied conditions justify the added costs of improved access to NEMT cost-effectiveness."

benefit from a variety of services including verification of member

ALC's Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
ALC's fully integrated approach ensures program accountability through driver and vehicle management; field management and supervision of transportation operations. ALC's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) effectively manage driver training, insurance, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle maintenance and reporting.
In achieving all this ALC is setting a new standard for NEMT services.
Below you'll find an overview of the key components that make up ALC's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), a fully integrated approach designed to safeguard service.

Utilization Management and Reporting
ALC can help healthcare agencies better manage and budget their transportation benefit by providing real-time updates on the number of trips provided month-to-date. These reports can be provided on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis depending on the healthcare organizations specific needs. ALC can also work with the healthcare agency to determine a schedule of services that meet budgetary requirements and trip quotas, while providing a high-level of customer service.
Internal Quality Control
ALC's internal quality control initiatives include an incentive program that offers bonuses for the operations team based on the achievement of quality service performance metrics. ALC also offers incentives based on driver performance standards.
Drivers
To ensure a high quality of service, ALC aggregates the best drivers available in each market that it serves. To find the best drivers, ALC conducts rigorous screening programs as part of its driver recruitment and credentialing.
We take these measures very seriously, to ensure the highest degree of customer confidence regarding driver qualifications and safety.
Vehicles
Maintenance
ALC requires all drivers to adhere to ALC's vehicle maintenance standards and any additional standards required by the healthcare organization. These standards require vehicles to be maintained at levels and intervals more rigorous than those required by the manufacturer.
"Right Sizing" the Vehicle
ALC's model offers you the flexibility to transport any qualifying member requiring non-emergency medical transportation, whether they require ambulatory, wheelchair, or gurney service. ALC accomplishes this by "right sizing the vehicle." Partnering with certified local for-hire transportation service providers, ALC ensures that the appropriate vehicle is available to meet the needs of the organization and its members, whether it is a sedan, wheelchair accessible van, litter van or ambulance.
