Download or read book Start Your Own Senior Transportation Business written by Craig Wallin and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-26 with total page 116 pages. 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.
