The Triple Aim Advantage
In 2007, the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI) developed the Triple Aim initiative to help health care organizations improve patient care while reducing the rate of increase in the per capita cost of care. This initiative considers the quality, access, and reliability of healthcare services such as NEMT.
Mileage reimbursement is in large part an asset to fulfill IHI’s Triple Aim goals in the following ways:
- Cost Reduction: If members can drive themselves or have family members and loved ones available to drive them, brokerages can significantly cut the higher costs associated with professional drivers and medical vehicles
- Enhanced Member Experience: The convenience of using their own vehicle or being driven by a loved on offers flexibility and comfort for some members. The ability to retain their independence can reduce stress associated with medical appointments and may provide an opportunity for socialisation during the trip.
- Improved Health Outcomes: When members have a comfortable and reliable mode of transportation, they are more likely to attend their medical appointments regularly, leading to better health outcomes and improved overall well-being.

Mileage reimbursement programs has become a valuable opportunity for transportation providers to increase operational longevity. While managing and processing reimbursements manually can become a tedious and time-consuming task, NEMT scheduling software can alleviate this burden off your shoulders.
