NEMT in Wyoming: Your Complete Guide to Medical Transport in Casper and Laramie

Getting to a medical appointment in Wyoming isn't always simple. Whether you're in Casper heading to Wyoming Medical Center or in Laramie navigating the University of Wyoming Health Sciences campus, distance and mobility challenges can turn a routine appointment into a logistical ordeal.

That's where non-emergency medical transportation — NEMT — comes in. And as a tri-state provider serving Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska since 2000, N.E.M.T. Medical Mobility has been making those rides safe, dignified, and dependable for Wyoming patients for over two decades.

Here's everything you need to know about NEMT in Casper and Laramie.

Non-emergency medical transportation is exactly what it sounds like: scheduled, professional transport to and from medical appointments for patients who cannot safely drive themselves or use standard transportation.

NEMT is typically used by patients who:

• Use a wheelchair, scooter, or other mobility device
• Are recovering from surgery or a hospital stay
• Require stretcher transport and cannot sit upright
• Attend recurring appointments like dialysis three times a week
• Have cognitive or physical conditions that make independent travel unsafe

Unlike an ambulance, NEMT is for scheduled, non-emergency situations — doctor visits, dialysis runs, specialist appointments, lab work, hospital discharge, and airport transfers.

Casper is Wyoming's second-largest city and the medical hub of central Wyoming. Wyoming Medical Center, Banner Health, and multiple dialysis facilities serve patients across Natrona County and the surrounding region — but many of those patients need help getting there.

Our Casper, Wyoming NEMT service covers patients throughout Natrona County, including:

• Wyoming Medical Center — the region's largest hospital, handling everything from emergency care to complex surgeries
• Banner Health Casper — outpatient and specialty care
• DaVita and Fresenius dialysis centers — recurring transport for kidney disease patients
• Central Wyoming Counseling Center — behavioral health appointments
• Casper/Natrona County International Airport (CPR) — medical travel connections

We also serve surrounding communities including Mills, Evansville, Bar Nunn, Glenrock, and Douglas.

Central Wyoming's geography is unforgiving. Patients in outlying areas like Glenrock or Douglas can be 30–45 minutes from the nearest specialist. Winter conditions on I-25 and US-20 add another layer of complexity. And for dialysis patients who need transport three days a week, reliability isn't a preference — it's a medical necessity.

Our drivers know these roads. We plan around Wyoming weather, coordinate with facility staff, and show up on time because your health depends on it.

Laramie sits at 7,165 feet elevation along I-80 — the highest elevation of any city of its size in the United States. It's home to the University of Wyoming and a growing medical community, but it's also 45 miles from Cheyenne and over 130 miles from Denver.

For patients in Albany County, getting to specialized care often means a long drive. Our Laramie, Wyoming NEMT service makes that journey manageable.

• Ivinson Memorial Hospital — Albany County's primary hospital, offering emergency, surgical, and specialty services
• University of Wyoming Student Health — serving the UW campus community
• Albany County Health Department — public health and preventive care
• Dialysis centers — recurring transport for kidney patients
• Behavioral health clinics — mental health and substance use treatment
• Laramie Regional Airport (LAR) — connections for medical travel

We also serve the broader Albany County area including Centennial, Bosler, Rock River, and Medicine Bow.

One of our most-requested routes is the Denver–Laramie corridor along I-80. Patients who receive specialized care in Denver — at UCHealth, Children's Hospital Colorado, or National Jewish Health — often need transport both ways. As a Colorado-based tri-state provider, we handle that entire corridor seamlessly, with no handoffs between providers.

Yes. Wyoming Medicaid covers non-emergency medical transportation for eligible beneficiaries who have no other means of getting to covered medical appointments.

1. Be enrolled in Wyoming Medicaid
2. Have a covered medical appointment
3. Have no other transportation available (no car, no family member who can drive, etc.)
4. Request transportation in advance — typically 2–3 business days ahead

We work with Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans and can help you understand what's covered for your specific situation. Call us at 720-210-0058 and we'll walk you through the process.

Not all medical transport vehicles are created equal. We operate a 100% purpose-built fleet of MV-1 ADA mobility vans — vehicles designed from the ground up for medical transport, not converted minivans or retrofitted SUVs.

The MV-1 offers:

• Full wheelchair and scooter accessibility with a factory-installed ramp
• Higher roofline for comfortable entry without ducking or crouching
• Tie-down systems that secure wheelchairs safely during transit
• Wider door openings than any converted vehicle
• Commercial-grade durability built for daily medical transport use

For stretcher transport, our vehicles are equipped with proper securing systems and staffed by trained transport professionals.

Booking is straightforward:

1. Call us at 720-210-0058 (local) or (877) 742-6342 (national toll-free)
2. Tell us your pickup location, destination, appointment time, and mobility needs
3. We'll confirm your ride and send a reminder

We recommend booking at least 24–48 hours in advance for scheduled appointments. For recurring transport like dialysis, we set up a standing schedule so you never have to call each time.

You can also book online through our scheduling system.
