First you have to secure a loan for vehicles obviously and it wont hurt you to have an attorney or knowledge of Medi-cal guidelines if you plan on applying for a contract. If you get approved then you have to learn how to bill, fill out TARs and NEMT forms. It is a very tricky process but only if you choose to take medi cal riders. I actually work for a transportation company so what I am telling you is accurate. If you dont want to take medi cal than you can always market to SDRC to gain a contract to take individuals with disabilities to day programs. If you plan on transporting throughout SD county then you will have to have a business license in each city. You must also have sufficient knowledge of quick books or other billing system. This is a very competitive field and if you are going to offer wheelchair and ambulatory services make sure your ambulatory services match the cab companies because otherwise people will just take a cab. You can also market to active seniors and care facilities. You can make a lot of money in this field if you know how to do it. Great people skills are a must and a website is a plus. This is a very involved process but it can be done with patience and a lot of hard work.

There are two options for operating a non emergency medical transportation fleet in the state of South Carolina. One is to negotiate a broker contract with the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. The other is by contacting the South Carolina Medicaid program for direct information.
You can start medical equipment business with the help of the online dealers. You can contact with the dealers and get the jobs in the right track.
I would try to enroll in a local community college in Essex county which offers classes in medical transportation and hopefully you will have a great start in this career.

That's an excellent service business to have. Many senior citizens need transportation to and from medical appoinments. A few things you'll need to look into may include: business liability insurance of at least one to three million dollars (which really isn't as expensive as it may sound), vehicles capable of transporting disabled persons, and a comprehensive advertising plan. You may consider working for a company that specializes in that business first to see if it's a good fit for you, then be careful about a "Non-Compete" waiver they may want you to sign, stating you will not take their customers away from them. They'll probably have that whether or not they know you are interested in starting your own service.
I am looking to start a transportation company to transport Medicaid customers. What type of license would be needed to do this?

No one gets free medical benefits if you start up your own business. You will be insuring others in your company and paying for part of their health benefits most likely.
