- Aged and disabled persons are the most frequent users when compared to other eligibility groups
- Beneficiaries diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) use NEMT most frequently
- Those with intellectual or developmental disabilities and serious mental illnesses also use NEMT more frequently than those with none of these conditions
- NEMT users primarily ride in a van or taxi—which includes Uber and Lyft
- The most common NEMT destinations are to the home or a physician’s office
