Brooklyn, New York, September 12, 2024 Canada, March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — MediDrive, a leading non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) company, has launched an innovative Transportation Management System (TMS) designed to transform how the healthcare industry manages patient transportation. The new system enables health plans, physician groups, hospitals, treatment facilities and Flex Card administrators to seamlessly research and book the best transportation options tailored to the specific needs of their members and patients.
“We are rethinking NEMT. If you compare most NEMT suppliers, they have different levels of performance but essentially the same. At MediDrive, we aim to go beyond that and we believe this new transportation management system will be a game changer,” he said. Alan MurrayPresident and CEO of MediDrive.

MediDrive TMS aims to address a key aspect of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and mitigate transportation issues that cause patients to miss medical appointments: 20% of Americans miss medical appointments due to transportation issues, resulting in 100,000 patients missing care annually. $150 billionMediDrive’s solutions are timely and effective: As the healthcare industry increasingly recognizes the link between transportation access and health outcomes, more people are looking to reliable transportation solutions to help patients get the care they need.
MediDrive’s TMS platform allows users to access and manage multiple transport providers in a single, easy-to-use interface. The system can be configured based on patient needs, including vehicle type, cost, availability and distance, providing a one-stop solution for booking the best transport option. For health insurance plans, this means members can get the most value from the transport benefits their plan already offers. For healthcare providers, this means managing patient transport costs while ensuring patients are following the treatment they’re being provided, resulting in better outcomes.
“Essentially, our TMS is a logistics platform integrated with the marketplace,” Murray added. “Providers can quickly create an account, configure their options, and start booking transportation in under 10 minutes with no long-term contracts or upfront costs. Health insurance plans can easily integrate their traditional transportation benefits or Flex Card programs into the TMS platform.”
Calve Milligan, chief revenue officer at MediDrive, added: “Our intuitive website allows users to choose their transport mode based on cost and distance, allowing them to select the best option with just one click. Once booked, the car is on its way.”
MediDrive’s TMS goes beyond traditional ride-sharing services, providing access to a variety of vehicle types including ambulatory, wheelchair accessible, two-person assistance, stretcher and VIP white glove service. The system allows you to specify special patient support requirements, such as wheelchair access and advanced life support, ensuring comprehensive care.
Every ride booked through MediDrive’s TMS benefits from the company’s proprietary AI routing and tracking technology. This advanced software utilizes real-time routing, dispatching, and tracking to ensure on-time pickup, drop-off, and progress monitoring throughout the trip. In the event of delays, the system automatically re-routes to maintain the industry’s highest on-time performance standards.
Circadian Rhythm Health for Early Adopters
Circadian Health, a multi-specialty healthcare provider in cardiology, endocrinology, sleep medicine and pulmonology, was one of the first organizations to implement MediDrive’s TMS.
“TMS systems are an ideal solution for patients facing mobility and other SDOH challenges, allowing us to send patients to primary care, specialists or labs as needed. The system allows patients to stay well at home instead of going to the hospital,” he said. Chuck Hectorpresident and co-founder of Circadian Health. “Patients with transportation issues often call 911 for emergency transport, which is often unnecessary and costly. Through this partnership, we will alleviate patient concerns and anxiety. MediDrive’s platform ensures patients arrive on time, comfortably and cost-effectively.”
When MediDrive TMS is officially launched in September, even more healthcare providers are expected to benefit from this innovative solution to patient transportation.
