Better Together: Partnering with Uber Health for NEMT Excellence

We work in an industry that does best when it’s consistently looking ahead for ways to innovate, share knowledge, and bring members the best experience possible. This is doubly true as value-based care becomes the industry standard.

While it’s good to look for ways to lead and stand out, working together can bring even greater strides for those who matter most: the people who need what our clients have to offer. This is especially true when trying to find the best ways to remove various obstacles to people getting the proper care when they need it.

How TripSpark is looking to move forward

Our commitment to always creating a better experience for both our clients and their members is why we are so excited to announce that TripSpark’s NEMT business will be partnering with Uber Health. This partnership gives TripSpark clients access to Uber Health’s API integration by way of NovusMED. The integration enables clients on behalf of their members to request rides with Uber, allowing for further ease of access to transportation across the board.

When we talked about this exciting development, Steve Dewis, General Manager for TripSpark Technologies – NEMT, had this to say: “We are excited to formalize our partnership with Uber Health and bring a new level of transportation access to our clients, which will help increase the efficiency of their operations and improve the member rider experience.”

Why Uber Health believes care begins with getting there

When we spoke with Caitlin Donovan, Global Head of Uber Health, she said: “Uber Health is uniquely positioned to make requesting transportation easier. We’re proud to work with TripSpark Technologies to help address barriers to care and aim to improve long-term health outcomes on a national scale.”

How is it going to work?

TripSpark clients will be able to book rides through Uber Health this fall. Any TripSpark clients that want to take advantage can request this integration with Uber Health via NovusMED. Once the integration is in effect for our clients, their users will be able to request trips through Uber Health, while keeping these trips in pre-existing TripSpark workflows. The goal of this is to ensure our clients get all the convenience of Uber Health, without setting up a brand new system.

5 Ways NEMT Brokers Can Be More Cost-Effective While Delivering Better Service

When you have so many moving parts to your business, it can be difficult to get a handle on where you can find more money. It's important to look for opportunities for efficiency, but it's also crucial to spend time on what an NEMT broker does best: coordinating timely medical transportation.

We've even recently seen how one of our clients was able to use TripSpark's reporting functionality to help lower their in...

The Benefits of MCO-Led Medical Transportation Management

As we've explored in previous blogs , our industry's newfound focus on value-based care and studies looking into the needs of those who use our services have made it clear that the more involved NEMT transportation providers are with those they serve, the better off everyone is. One type of organization stands out to us as being uniquely positioned for this approach to NEMT: Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). How MCOs Can Make an Impact By the nature of what they are, MCOs have a kind of edge when it comes to our industry. MCOs already hold a great deal of medical information about the members who need to book trips. But let’s go deeper into why MCO-managed NEMT can work so well. These organizations have more knowledge of when members are using services and why Their wealth of information about their members helps them easily identify who has more or less need for assistance with transportation, potentially saving both sides of the equation quite a bit of time by bypassing c...

Reliable software is the pillar of NEMT broker technology. Customizable and fully integrated systems allow you, as a broker, to get the most out of your software. These are not features that are "nice to have", but aspects you should expect the software to provide for you to use to run your business. Here are five ways you can get more out of your medical broker software. 1. Flexibility Your business is unique. Labels that work for some businesses might not be accurate for yours.
