Thank you guys for your time and informative challenges , much appreciated
Thanks Darryl!
Love it you two explain it the best one thing I will add is it can be hard dealing with brokers I am a nemt driver I been blammed for having a conflict with a customer I never had a conflict with veyo must of mistaken me for another nemt company they won't talk to me about it I think the company I work for is afaird to deal with veyo My company or veyo won't even check the gps to see if I was the one who had a problem with that customer so be careful when dealing with brokers you can lose drivers if the brokers make a mistake and blame them the drivers will just quit sometimes so there is a lot to look at when dealing with brokers
We agree! It’s and hate love relationship and with everything there are pros and cons. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences on working with brokers.
Where do I find brokers? Private pay clients? Thanks for sharing tips it’s been a tremendous help.
Take a look at our marketing video. There you can find information on finding private pay clients. Brokers you can find by a simple goole search.
I'm new at this still researching and absorbing info....all paper work us almost in order
That’s wonderful! Congratulations!
Thank you ladies so much for this information. This is very valuable for me as starting my private NEMT business. Can you make a video on how to submit your billings etc? Ty in advance.
Thank you. Broker Billing or how we create invoices for our clients?
@@Mjbusinessacademy How do you add up your prices for the week? For your personal payout.
Invoices for client will be a bonus if you include that too.
@@Mjbusinessacademy I'm personally interested in both and would appreciate your time in providing that insight :)
@@aaliyah1353 I'm not to clear on your question but let me take a shot at it! All payment is made up front from private pay clients. Contracted trips we keep track with logs and our internal invoice software. I hope my response satisfied your question.
Brokers have their own internal system that you will need to use when summiting for billing. However we do send emails out for private pay clients. We will try to make a quick video on it or maybe a Reel ( be sure to follow us on IG if you aren't already).
Nice video. How do you lady’s charge wait time? Say if you drive 5 miles out of your region, and the return pick up time was 2 hours later after you dropped off your passenger. Would you charge those 2 hours? How would you go about that?
Hi Steve, Yes we do charge for wait time. Come up with an amount and make sure your client is aware of this amount prior to pick up.
Thanks for inspire me
You are so welcome!
I love you guys ❤
🫶🏾☺️☺️
Hi ladies! Thank you so much for the amazing info! Can you break a contract with brokers at any time? Do they stop sending you jobs if you keep rejecting? And do clients ever offer tips after a ride? Thanks again!
Most brokers give you the option to deny trips. However this must be done in the time frame they allot. Breaking the contract I'm not sure of as we have never been in that position but I couldn't imagine them giving you a hard time about it. ( I say speak with your Point of Contact and I'm sure its not a problem). And when taking broker trips you are not allowed to take tip. However, If your'e doing private pay trips Its okay to accept tips. We would suggest having a policy in place regarding Tips.
@@Mjbusinessacademy Thank you 🙏🏽
Hey, guys enjoy video touch on finding funding for business or when is a right time for a business to expand . Thanks
Noted! Thank you
Did you buy a van initially or did you drive your personal vehicle? Just wondering how you got started regarding transportation
We purchased a van but If you just want to get started use what you have temporally.
Thank you again ladies, just curious about your first day experience,and how long did it take to hire drivers for your business.
Did you start by driving your clients before hiring drivers?
Video coming soon!
Hello I'm in Dallas Texas. I want to know if you guys offer mentorship
Thank y’all! I’m starting a medical Courier and nemt do you allow messages? And answering questions?
That’s a great combo! We wish you the best in all your business endeavors. We are here for support if you need guidance. Resources can be found on our website: www.mjreliabletransportation.com
What type of car did you start with?.. Im trying to start a NEMT as we speak and I wanted to know what type of car I should start of with?
Great question! We started with a fully converted wheelchair van (Dodge)
Now are you still working with brokers? And thanks for all the great information!
Yes, we still have some contracts with brokers. And you're welcome!
Hey guys how to get the certificaciones to get started . I just found out about you guys and I’m very interested. Need help with the beginning of this type of business. Thank you.
CTAA website. Did you download the ebook?
So I just got my business in place and this is actually my first time starting a business on my own, however I don’t have any broker just yet, so do you guys suggest me to do to avoid all the confusion?? I’ve already been in trouble with one broker I wanted to start with but she drop me out of nowhere talking about their not partner with saint Louis anymore.
I would need more information to answer your question. I would suggest us hoping on a quick call.

Hi ladies and thank you for sharing. Do you only service ambulatory clients or is your van wheelchair accessible for the disabled?
We service Ambulatory and Wheelchair clients.
@@Mjbusinessacademy when you started your transportation business. what type of vehicle you begin with?
@@lemairedumas5354 th-cam.com/video/ngVdEIYNt18/w-d-xo.html
awesome! love it. thank you sooooooo much!
@@lemairedumas5354 You're welcome
Hello ladies thank you for sharing this great video. Would I be able to transport in my car until I can buy a van?
Depends on what type of vehicle you have. If It is easy to get in and out of and doesn't sit to high off the ground then yes.
@@Mjbusinessacademy thank you, I have a Nissan Maxima. I’m just getting started so I was wondering . Can I start that way with a broker then transition? Thanks for your reply congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾 😊
@@christines9227 Yes you can start with that.
Thank you ladies…
Do you bill directly through medicaid and Medicare or do you have to go through a broker
Thank you for watching the video and for your comment. It depends on the state you are operating in. For this contract, we submitted billing through the broker. Stay tuned for future videos!

Can ya have a payment due date in the contracts or some kind of late payment surcharge?? Thanks love ya videos keep them coming!!!
@@chuyzepeda6452 Yes, If It's a private contract. Ex. Rehab or Nursing Home. If you are referring to the broker you generally have those terms worked out prior to accepting trips. Payment due date, late fees, etc should be outlined in ALL contracts.
Did you guys start out as the drivers or did you hire drivers?
Great question! We started with one vehicle. Monica and Myself rotated days while still working full-time jobs. Eventually we hired drivers. However we still transport as well.
Thank you. Would you suggest a newer business starting with a broker, at least until they get private pay clients? Do y'all do any Medicaid trips?
Great question! If you are new to the industry I would recommend doing what's best for your business. If this means starting with a broker until you can build up your private pay clients, go for it.
Hello, do you know anything about the Houston TX area needing this type of service ?
The best advise that we can provide to you is do your market research. This is the best way to determine If there is a need in that particular area.
I’m sorry, do you need a special license in CA for NEMT? And Is it best to travel with 2 people when picking up clients?
Last question, how long did it take to make 6 figures yearly?
No special license other than a license to do business in the county/cities you plan to operate in. You will need a few certificates such as Wheelchair securement, Defensive driving, and First Aid.
when brokers ask how long our nemt business has ben in business wshould we just but the actaul date even tho i havent done any trips. but i have 5 yrs experience driving
You give the actual date.
@MJ Reliable Transportation Do brokers require that a company have more than 1 vehicle before they Will work with you? Thank you for your response.
Depends on the need for TP's. We started with one vehicle.
I have called the governor's office in the state of Indiana many many times because the brokers have complained they didn't have the money they complain that their cash flow was bad they made up all kind of reasons not to pay us and I and the governor talking to the people in the governor's office they said that's absolutely not true the Brokers are given their money at the beginning of the year Millions upon millions of dollars to run their company these Brokers are terrible terrible terrible people
NEMT can be like a ike a crap shoot for some upstart medical transportation providers with one vehicle, especially if they have a terrible broker and/or clients who repeatedly cancel their trips or just don't show up. This can prevent an NEMT provider from making adequate profits to help cover commercial insurance, fuel, vehicle maintenance, repairs, payroll, and other operating expenses. Private pay trips or signing up with other brokers is possible, but in the meantime, it's best to also have enough money set aside for the unexpected and until your NEMT company becomes known and utilized (regularly). BTW, are you still interested in and/or doing NEMT?
Can I ask y’all. I always see y’all driving. Do y’all have other employees or are you guys the only ones driving? and if so, can one start a business and hire someone of the bat without having to drive?
Yes we have employees and yes if you have capital to hire a driver.
And to top things off Uber and Lyft also do medical transportation Uber and Lyft also do non-emergency medical transportation they don't have to carry the same expensive insurance that we carry as as Transportation providers they don't even have to have their car labeled they don't have to go through the credentialing process as all the drivers have to they also are paid more money than the certified credentialed non-emergency transportation drivers so that's something to think about they the Uber driver and the Lyft driver does not have to have the same type of insurance we are paying $800 a car for insurance and they lift drivers are paying $250 so you be the judge who's got the better deal sorry to blow off steam
You can't go straight to the insurance medical portal site for loads?
Unfortunately not. However, If you chose to work with a broker this option would be available to you. And we call them "trips" not loads, lol let me guess! you're in trucking?
How many clients do you pick up a with one vehicle to see profits? How do you schedule with one vehicle?
With this one broker? between 3-4 clients which is 6-8 trips M-F. Sometimes less
Scheduling with one vehicle? Stay in your service area. Create a radius and stick to it to reach max capacity with one vehicle.
@@Mjbusinessacademy Okay, thank you so much for your teaching, gave me a little more insight 😘 thank you for all you two do🤞 also do you have an email that I may email
Can you give a true life fee within the last year that you received from a broker for a certain distance drive and the average yearly contract that is reasonable Wheelchair or just transport without wheelchair?
No provider is paid equal when working with transportation brokers. Reimbursement rates are based on need, level of service, and your ability to negotiate the best rate for your business. We have some short form videos highlighting our reimbursement. However, these rates could look different for you depending on the factors above. IG and TikTok: @mjbusinessacademy
Why don’t you cut the broker out become your own broker get the contract from the federal government yourself thank me later
Broker have been good to us. However we understand what you are saying. Unfortunately there are many steps to this process. We have started the process and are excited about the possibilities.
What program to you recommend to use for billing clients?
th-cam.com/video/h6FZ0IFiUPM/w-d-xo.html
May I ask what broker your currently using? Also, how much youre rates are?
We choose not to disclose that information. However, we have a broker list on our site with over 25 nationwide brokers. The broker is on that list.
Sounds like trucking
Starting out can i reach out to a broker and give them like a start date of when I’m ready just to have it lined up ahead of time?
Generally, you will start the process of on boarding with the transportation broker once all of your documentation has been submitted, including driver information vehicle information and company information. I’m sure they would not have a problem with assigning you at activation. I would reach out to your provider relations manager to see if you can make those arrangements.
Where can I find Broker requirements? Would being a medical professional assist in becoming a broker? Where would I find broker list for Dallas, TX?
Are you trying to work with a broker or become a broker? Please clarify
@@Mjbusinessacademy I am doing research and getting ready to order van. All hmwk and planning so far.
Which broker company did you ladies work with in the beginning that you would recommend to us
Unfortunately due to contractual reasons we cannot say but I will share that the broker is one of the brokers on our nationwide brokers list on our website.
How can you find brokers, only 2 are showing up when I do a Google search and the same two show up on the GA state
We have a list of over 20 brokers along with the direct links to their websites. You can find it here mjreliabletransportation.com/product/nationwide-nemt-broker-list/
I greatly appreciate y'all
How many vehicles do you guys have thank you in advance
We have 3 vans
Hello Ladies, my question is if you're not using a broker.... how can you bill Medicaid? Please share the name of the paper work.
Become a vendor. They provide training for billing.
Hello ladies. This NEMT piqued my curiosity because my mom uses it for her medical appointments. I live in Santa Clara County in the Bay Area and I have to call the SCFHP(Santa Clara Family Health Plan) to get this NEMT rides for my mom and they always send OWNER OPETATED wheelchair vans from Yellow Cab. Now are these drivers who own and operate their wheelchair vehicles also have their own NEMT business under Yellow Cab? Are they making a lot of money like your own business? Can you explain and clarify? You mentioned in some of your videos about brokers. Is Yellow Cab a broker and would you recommend someone who is starting out on NEMT business to go this route under Yellow Cab? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
In many instances those drivers are subcontractors of yellow cab. If you were looking to get into this industry,I would not recommend going that route.
@Mjbusinessacademy OK, Thank you. If I have all the time in the world to devote into this business and money isn't an issue, how long does it take to start a fully operating 1 wheelchair van NEMT business?
@@je333ful We offer a 10 week program which includes ongoing mentorship. Link below: mjreliabletransportation.com/launchyournemtbusiness/
@Mjbusinessacademy Is the program in person, online or a mixture of both? Thank you so much.

Will it be profitable to have a wc shuttle van 12 passenger?
Hi Peter, it depends on a few things but since Covid I wouldn’t recommend.
🎉
How do we get info on purchasing your training program?
whats the fb groups you all recommend that are actually useful?
Just go on Facebook and search for NEMT groups. Please be mindful that these groups have changed and you may see a lot of negative comments and misleading information, so make sure you continue to do your own research.
May I please know which broker you guys worked with pls
Broker is on this list. mjreliabletransportation.com/product/nationwide-nemt-broker-list/
Can you charge for mileage to the pick up location and during the trip to the doctor?
I'm assuming you're speaking of dead miles. Yes, you can charge a small fee for the miles you have to drive to pick up that client. However, If Its your working with the broker you will only be compensated If the trip is outside of your service area.
@@Mjbusinessacademy Ah I see. So working with brokers is good when you first start while building your client base? I’m doing my business alone but have a friend that would be happy to help me with marketing (brochures, business cards at medical and rehab facilities) I live a cross the street from a large infirmary as well lol
@@midnightville9062 Yes. When you first start It's important to get the cash flow coming in due to monthly expenses. But your focus should never veer away from building business for yourself (Private Pay).
@@Mjbusinessacademy thank you ma’am!
If I have anymore questions I won’t waste your time here I’ll get that DISCOVERY CALL SCHEDULED! 🙏🏿👍🏿😁
Howcan i get in contact with you guys?

How do I structure my llc for this business
Most provider start a LLC but I would advise you to speak with a tax professional or business attorney for guidance regarding this topic. It can be very situational.
How much you charge for private pay
Thank you for your comment and for watching the video. It varies based on location and distance. If we travel outside of our service area, we charge for deadhead miles. We have a video coming soon to cover this topic. Stay tuned!
On average with one van how much can you make a year gross be honest
We only know how to be honest. You just watched a video that showed proof of 100,000 from one broker It cant get anymore transparent than that.
Who is the best paying broker
There is no straight answer to your question. Example: One person may say their rates are great while the other says something completely different. Its up to you to negotiate the best rate possible for your business. If you and the broker can't work out a fair rate, walk away.
are these brokers good for Texas?
Yes Sir!
Where do you guys operate?
Thank you for watching the video and for your comment. We operate in Orange County. Stay tuned for future videos!
Can you sign up with multiple brokers?
Yup! We have a nationwide broker list with over 20 brokers on our website. Check It out. Also, If you sign on with multiple brokers be sure to re-route those trips within the time frame they give you. If not your company could be penalized.
