What We Do at Custom Care Carriage

Our compassionate team understands the unique challenges faced by elderly individuals, those with disabilities, or anyone recovering from medical procedures. We provide reliable transportation, making it easier for our clients to reach medical appointments or holiday gatherings.
The Importance of Non-Emergency Medical Transport
Non-emergency medical transport is crucial for maintaining health and wellness, especially during the busy holiday season. With increased family gatherings and events, many individuals may find it difficult to secure reliable transportation. Our services ensure that patients can access the care they need while also enjoying the holiday festivities with friends and family.
Who Pays for Non-Emergency Medical Transport?
Understanding the various funding sources for NEMT can help individuals secure the transportation they need during the Thanksgiving season. Here’s a breakdown of the primary funding sources available:
- Medicaid:
For eligible individuals in South Carolina, Medicaid covers non-emergency medical transport to and from appointments at little or no cost.With our assistance, Medicaid recipients can easily schedule rides for their healthcare needs during the holidays.
- Medicare: While Medicare typically doesn't cover NEMT, in specific cases—such as when a patient’s medical condition restricts them from using traditional transport—there may be exceptions. Our team can help navigate these complexities to ensure you understand your options.
- Private Insurance: Some private health insurance plans may cover NEMT, but this varies by provider. We recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm coverage details, so you can worry less and focus on your holiday plans.
- State and Local Programs: South Carolina offers additional state and local initiatives to assist with transportation costs, especially around the holidays when access to family and healthcare is essential. We encourage our clients to explore these options.
- Out-of-Pocket Payments: For those not covered by the above sources, Custom Care Carriage provides competitive rates for our NEMT services. We believe everyone deserves access to transport for healthcare and family gathering needs during this season of gratitude.
