What Is Credential Management?
In the context of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), credential management ensures that only active and approved drivers and vehicles perform NEMT trips. It helps transportation providers manage and track their vehicle and employees’ licenses, inspections, preventative maintenance, certifications, and other important credentials, ensuring compliance across the board and reducing the risk of fines and legal issues.
