Cure Vans · Dallas, TX
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Dallas
Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is how Dallas gets to the doctor when driving yourself isn't an option — and an ambulance isn't necessary. Cure Vans provides NEMT across Dallas for wheelchair users, seniors, and anyone who needs a safe, assisted ride to medical care: dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, specialist appointments, and hospital discharges.
Unlike rideshare, our vans are ADA-accessible and our drivers are trained in passenger assistance — securement, lift operation, and door-through-door escort. Unlike an ambulance, we're a fraction of the cost and built for scheduled care, not emergencies. And unlike national brokers, we're a local DFW company with our own vans, our own drivers, and 24/7 live dispatch.
Whether you need a standing dialysis schedule in Oak Cliff, a weekly chemo ride from Lakewood, or a one-time trip home from Parkland after discharge, one call handles it: 817-918-5842.
How it works
- 1
Book in minutes.
Call 817-918-5842 or book online. We'll ask about mobility needs (wheelchair, walker, ambulatory), appointment time, and whether this is a one-time or recurring ride. - 2
Ride with the right vehicle.
Wheelchair riders get an ADA van with a lift; ambulatory riders get a comfortable sedan-style vehicle with driver assistance. Either way, door-through-door help is included. - 3
We handle the round trip.
We get you to your appointment on time and coordinate the return pickup — including will-call returns when appointments run long.

Medicaid and NEMT in Dallas: the honest version
Cure Vans is Medicaid/Medicare approved — but here's what most NEMT websites won't tell you: Texas doesn't have one statewide Medicaid transportation broker. Each Medicaid health plan contracts its own transportation vendor, and coverage rules vary by plan.
What that means for you: if your plan's broker arranges the ride, they'll schedule it through their vendor. But brokers have blackout windows, advance-notice rules, and coverage gaps — missed pickups are the #1 complaint we hear. When the broker can't cover you, or you need private-pay, facility-arranged, or backup transportation, call us directly at 817-918-5842. We'll tell you straight whether we're the right fit and what it costs.
Why Cure Vans for NEMT in Dallas
Dallas-Fort Worth is the fourth-largest metro in America, and medical care here means real mileage — from a dialysis center in Pleasant Grove to UT Southwestern, from a rehab in North Dallas to a specialist in the medical district.

We're dispatched from North Fort Worth with 24/7 live dispatch, so schedule changes reach a person immediately. Every van is ours, every driver is ours — no subcontractor roulette. And our pricing is transparent: call 817-918-5842 for a straight quote, because you shouldn't have to call three companies to get a number.
Frequently asked questions
What is non-emergency medical transportation?
NEMT is scheduled transportation to medical appointments for people who can't drive themselves and don't need an ambulance — wheelchair-accessible vans or assisted ambulatory rides, with drivers trained to help passengers safely.
What's the difference between NEMT and an ambulance?
An ambulance is for emergencies, with paramedics and life-support equipment, at emergency cost. NEMT is for planned medical trips — dialysis, chemo, therapy, discharges — at a fraction of the price. If it's not an emergency, NEMT is the right call.
How much does NEMT cost in Dallas?
Private-pay pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, and assistance level. Call 817-918-5842 for a straight quote — most competitors won't publish ranges, but you shouldn't have to call three companies to get a number. Medicaid/Medicare-approved trips are billed per your plan's rules.
Can I set up recurring rides, like dialysis three times a week?
Yes — recurring medical rides are our specialty. One booking sets a standing schedule with consistent pickup times and, whenever possible, the same driver.
Do you provide NEMT on weekends?
Yes. Medical needs don't follow business hours, so neither do we — dispatch and vans run 24/7, weekends and holidays included.
Is Cure Vans Medicaid approved for NEMT in Dallas?
Yes, Cure Vans is Medicaid/Medicare approved. One honest note: Texas doesn't have one statewide Medicaid transportation broker — each health plan contracts its own vendor. When your plan's broker can't cover a ride, or you need private-pay or backup transport, call us directly at 817-918-5842.
