From a Broker's perspective, you're giving very good advise. Do your research, treat people well, don't sole source your clients (brokers and private pays). Nice job
This was really good ladies. I am a NENT owner/operator in Florida. I’ve been in business for 1 year and 3 months now. I started out with brokers and the beginning was great to me but of course I didn’t know anything and when I did find out I could raise my prices with them that’s when things slowed down. Now they spoon feed me and I’m not happy BUT, I am focusing on getting more private pay clients and being able to only deal with brokers because I want to and not have to. So thank you ladies for always sharing and keep up the great work! Coleman Transportation
I often hear the NEMT market in Florida is saturated. What is your take on this? What part of Florida do you operate in? We are glad to hear that you are shifting your focus now in trying to move away from the broker model. The key is to stay consistent in your marketing efforts and evaluate your pricing to make sure you aren’t under cutting yourself.
Yes, it is saturated. Im in the Palm Beach County area. I have not been able to really find out what others are charging here. I tried doing the calls you ladies shared in another video and the people were not so forth coming with the information 😂. Thank you for all you do and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Be Blessed ladies 😊

Truth is everybody wants to start an nemt business.. and it's slow for me in my area. I've had 1 employee for 2yrs because the WORK isn't there there. I can't seem to grow. This is why I'm trying to figure out how to expand before I go out of business. I mean charging $18 in town and NOT getting any calls from the BROKER! there's companies that have had to go down to $10 a trip (not including mileage) I mean it's jus ridiculous. Glad u guys are havin better luck tho. Ever since Covid most ppl are doin telehealth appts. That's a big part of the problem of why it's sooo slow these days
I want to focus specifically on student transportation. Taking kids to|from school and after school activities. I know parents are busy and can’t always drive kids around.
My wife and I have had that issue where a driver (we believe) had issues with taking directions from a black couple and specifically from my wife. I understand your situation there. It's been a learning lesson everyday, lol.

Hi jasmine and Monica, I am operating in Northern California and am dealing with brokers right now. Would you say that your business picked up significantly more when you signed up with medical because I am leaning towards doing that?
No, not necessarily. However, It is required to be contracted with the state when you are working with medical brokers. Being contracted with the state will help you maintain those contracts you have in place with the brokers. Also, you are able to bill Medi-Cal directly if you partner with the state.
