You may find the above question naive.
But first off, allow us to spell out the meaning of NEMT, it is non-emergency medical transport.
Believe us, there are still a few others who may not be able to distinguish between an NEMT vehicle and an ambulance. Either they are unaware of the developments in the transport business the last four decades or so, pay no attention to such developments, or have just taken up residency in the United States of America the last couple years and they come from places where this sort of service is non-existent.
They have reasons to be confused. For one, both services use the same types of vehicles more often than not. Both have beds as a fixture. In some cases, gurneys and oxygen can be found inside both vehicles.
The main thing that sets them apart is the term emergency. This is where the comparison ends and the difference begins.
An ambulance is utilized for emergency medical trips, while the NEMT caters to non-emergency medical calls. The former has medical staff inside like nurses or even doctors, in some cases, while the latter is manned by a driver who holds certification in basic tasks such as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid. There’s a huge difference also in the kinds of equipment and tools installed inside the vehicles.
It may be important for the uninitiated to be aware of the difference lest they resist getting on an NEMT vehicle when a need arises for such service and they would swear at us, saying “Why haul me to an ambulance!”
