Transforming NEMT, Together: Announcing the MTM Acquisition of Veyo

The future of NEMT is here: MTM is excited to announce our forthcoming acquisition of Veyo, a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) company based out of San Diego, California. As a joint organization, we’re setting out with a shared goal: transforming NEMT, together.

For more than 25 years, MTM has secured our place as an industry leader, working to develop innovative solutions that help people easily and reliably access NEMT options within their communities. As one of the largest NEMT brokers in the nation, we schedule more than 13 million trips for Medicaid and Medicare members nationwide. As a result of the acquisition of Veyo, MTM’s total annual revenue will be approximately $1 billion. The organization will now provide 20 million trips each year to 16 million people in 31 states and the District of Columbia.

Alaina Macia, MTM’s President and CEO, said the partnership will transform the medical transport industry by bringing together two talented organizations that share the goal of making it easier for people to quickly and conveniently access care. MTM’s experience partnering with traditional networks of transportation providers and public transit resources, paired with Veyo’s innovative Independent Driver Provider (IDP) shared ride model, will deliver the industry’s most robust NEMT experience.

“The union of the MTM and Veyo teams will allow us to achieve our vision of communities without barriers more comprehensively than ever before,” Macia said.“By joining our talented tech and customer service teams, we’ll accelerate our road map while bringing greater transparency, service improvements, and self-service tools to our clients and their members—each of which are incredibly important factors as we strive to achieve our goal of zero missed trips. Ultimately, we’re going to improve our members’ quality of life by ensuring they can always get to necessary medical appointments when they need to.”

Veyo, established seven years ago, sought to reinvent the traditional NEMT model by utilizing data, technology, and their IDP model to improve access to care. Josh Komenda, Veyo CEO and co-founder, will stay on board with MTM in a leadership role. Komenda said this partnership will merge both companies’ strengths.

“While technology and innovation are incredibly important, so is the human touch and that’s where our vision for the future lies,” said Komenda. “With this fusion of our companies, we’re bringing together the best of both worlds: MTM’s customer service focus and Veyo’s technology prowess and IDP model. It is going to allow us to do all the things we set out to do—improve patient lives as well as the overall healthcare system—at a large scale and faster.”

Stay tuned for additional information as the acquisition is closed this summer.
