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.

From the blog:
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.
