Activity D: Non-emergency non-medical transportation (NENMT).
• The term “non-medical” does not refer to the type of vehicle used, but to the condition of the transportation recipient.
• In contrast… “non-emergency, medical transportation” must be provided in ambulances or wheelchair vans, and be supported by a Treatment Authorization Request.
