CLEAR COMMUNICATION MAKES US #1
No one wants to be left behind or in the dark and neither do we. That’s why we’ve invested in a state-of-the-art, NEMT industry-specific communication system. RouteGenie is our preferred digital tool for increased accountability in scheduling, dispatching, routing, and billing.
This helpful program does not take the place of our marvelous office staff, but it frequently provides us with valuable assistance to help us select the best route to your appointment, provide you with ride reminders, and even send you real-time updates of our current location.
