Kinetik Newsletter Q4 2025

NEMT should be a core part of Case and Care Management

For too long, transportation has been treated as an afterthought in care management—outsourced, fragmented, and disconnected from the broader member experience.

That’s changing.

Health plans are increasingly recognizing Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) not as an administrative expense, but as a strategic tool to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and retain members.

When transportation data connects directly to care management systems, care teams can close gaps faster, identify members at risk of missed appointments, and coordinate interventions in real time.

By bringing NEMT in-house—supported by modern, interoperable technology—plans gain full visibility and control. The result: less administrative waste, stronger compliance, and better member experiences.

That’s what smarter healthcare infrastructure looks like.

In summary

As regulations tighten and budgets narrow, efficiency will define success in 2026. Health plans that own their transportation programs—backed by interoperable digital infrastructure—will lead on cost control, compliance, and care coordination.

At Kinetik, we’re helping payers get there. Because when every trip connects, care does too.

About client

Safe and cost effective solution

Divine Right Transportation provides safe and cost effective transportation to addiction and recovery programs, pharmacy trips, doctors appointments, clinic visits, physical therapy, diabetes treatment, dialysis treatment, oncology trips, and more.

Their company strive to provide safe and timely social assistance and health-related transportation needs to those who are under-served with limited income.

Partnership with Kinetik

After three years of operating only in California, Divine Right Services was ready to expand its non-emergency medical transportation footprint in 2022. But with more states, more regulations and more rides to process, Divine Right would need a massive infusion of billing staff.

Instead, they brought on RCM Pro billing services from Kinetik.
