NEMT Insurance in Phoenix

Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing NEMT markets in the Southwest. Arizona's AHCCCS (Medicaid) program contracts NEMT through United Healthcare Community Plan, Centene/Health Net, and DentaQuest. The Phoenix metro's sprawl and hot climate make reliable, insured transportation critical for dialysis, oncology, and behavioral health trips.

Regulator: Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) — NEMT providers contract with AHCCCS and its managed care plans; all for-hire vehicles need ADOT authority.
