NEMT Experts

The NEMT reality check nobody gives you. In this un-filtered conversation, Bambi CEO Nirav Chheda sits down with Mac Andrews and Ray Damitio, co-owners of The Doctor Ride in Charlotte, NC, to make the case against the broker grind and for building a premium private-pay business.

They explain why most of the industry is a "cycling circus" of operators who start on broker rides and go under, how they use premium pricing (right on the website) to pre-qualify riders, why Google reviews became their #1 source of private-pay inbound, and how collaborating with local competitors beats hoarding leads. Plus the membership model for high-frequency riders and why NEMT holds steady through any economy.

If you're starting an NEMT company or trying to grow one past the rough early stage, this one's required listening.
