Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover how you can earn $35 to $60 an hour driving seniors to medical appointments. This fast-growing service business is needed every day in every town and you can get started on a shoestring. One in five seniors does not drive and many of those may be forced to stay home due to lack of transportation and miss a medical appointment or be unable to shop for groceries. A private senior transportation service helps those seniors get around easily.In addition, the federal government now requires that state medicaid programs cover the cost of transportation to medical appointments. This has created even more opportunities for local senior transportation businesses.A senior transportation can be started with very little money - if you have a reliable car and a cellphone, you're almost there. The rewards are great - not just in dollars and cents - but in helping seniors live better lives by helping them enjoy their independence as long as possible. That's priceless.What is an N.E.M.T. vehicle? Unlike some specialized medical transportation vehicles - like an ambulance - a basic senior ride service does not require a special vehicle to transport seniors. There are far more seniors who are able to walk and just need a ride on a regular basis. NEMT is short for non-emergency medical transport. The name means exactly that - unlike an ambulance, your vehicle, whether a car, SUV or minivan, is an NEMT vehicle if you are taking passengers to and from medical appointments. You won't need to buy an expensive new van or specialized equipment, because you can focus on where there is a steady demand - transporting seniors who are able to walk. ( The medical term is "ambulatory")The opportunities are wide open in this fast-growing field, and so is the potential for an above-average income that's recession-proof. At current rates, a six-figure income is not uncommon for full-time drivers.If you've always wanted to be your own boss, running a business that makes a positive difference in people's lives every day, and are a caring person, take the first step by reading my step-by-step guide. The advice you'll find in the book will give you a head start, reduce risk, and cut startup costs. So you can get started right away, the book also contains a list of major transportation brokers who hire local drivers in all states.

Download or read book The Future of Disability in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-24 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of disability in America will depend on how well the U.S. prepares for and manages the demographic, fiscal, and technological developments that will unfold during the next two to three decades. Building upon two prior studies from the Institute of Medicine (the 1991 Institute of Medicine's report Disability in America and the 1997 report Enabling America), The Future of Disability in America examines both progress and concerns about continuing barriers that limit the independence, productivity, and participation in community life of people with disabilities. This book offers a comprehensive look at a wide range of issues, including the prevalence of disability across the lifespan; disability trends the role of assistive technology; barriers posed by health care and other facilities with inaccessible buildings, equipment, and information formats; the needs of young people moving from pediatric to adult health care and of adults experiencing premature aging and secondary health problems; selected issues in health care financing (e.g., risk adjusting payments to health plans, coverage of assistive technology); and the organizing and financing of disability-related research. The Future of Disability in America is an assessment of both principles and scientific evidence for disability policies and services. This book's recommendations propose steps to eliminate barriers and strengthen the evidence base for future public and private actions to reduce the impact of disability on individuals, families, and society.
