NEMT Recurring Routes
If your dispatcher is re-entering the same dialysis pickups, behavioral health routes, and PACE program trips every Monday morning, you're spending hours each week on work the software should handle automatically. ZeitRide's NEMT recurring routes feature lets you build a standing order once and run it indefinitely — with automated route scheduling, broker-synced updates, and real-time exceptions handled without a full rebuild. Operators report saving a full day of admin work per week.
If your dispatcher is re-entering the same dialysis pickups, behavioral health routes, and PACE program trips every Monday morning, you're spending hours each week on work the software should handle automatically. ZeitRide's NEMT recurring routes feature lets you build a standing order once and run it indefinitely — with automated route scheduling, broker-synced updates, and real-time exceptions handled without a full rebuild.
Recurring trips look simple from the outside. A dialysis patient needs a ride Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. A PACE program participant goes to the day center Tuesday and Thursday. The reality for operators is more complicated: Medicaid authorization cycles, clinic schedule changes, EVV requirements, and driver continuity expectations all layer on top of what should be a simple standing order.
Capabilities
- ✓One-time setup, perpetual execution — build a dialysis route once and the same trips appear in your manifest every scheduled day without re-entry
- ✓Series-level edits — update the standing order once and every future trip in the series updates automatically
- ✓Pause without breaking the series — pause a week's trips for a hospitalization without deleting or recreating the standing order
- ✓Broker-synced recurring imports — recurring trips from MTM Health, CTS Transit, Provide A Ride, ProCare, DD Med Trans, and Tennessee Carriers flow directly into the recurring route scheduler
- ✓EVV auto-capture on every trip — electronic visit verification logged per trip through the iOS and Android driver app on every instance of a recurring route
- ✓Driver-patient continuity — assign a preferred driver to a standing order and ZeitRide maintains that assignment across the series
- ✓Real-time exception handling — when a recurring trip cancels or a driver runs late, AI reroutes the affected manifest in real time
- ✓Authorization expiration protection — expired Medicaid authorizations stop producing trips automatically
Advantages
- ✓Dispatcher who was spending 2–3 hours rebuilding known routes now spends that time on same-day exceptions instead
- ✓Series-level editing — one address change updates every future trip, no per-trip editing required
- ✓EVV captured automatically on every recurring trip — no separate documentation step, no billing gaps
- ✓Broker authorization data connected to recurring trip generation — no trips run against expired authorizations
- ✓Offline GPS support for rural recurring routes — driver app caches routes locally for areas with no cell coverage
- ✓20% average mileage reduction — AI route optimization compounds significantly on high-frequency recurring routes
- ✓Flat $49/vehicle/month covers unlimited recurring trips — no per-trip fees punishing standing order volume
- ✓Driver-patient continuity honored automatically — preferred assignments maintained across the full series

Frequently asked questions
What are NEMT recurring routes and how do they work in ZeitRide?
NEMT recurring routes are standing trip orders for patients who need transportation on a regular schedule — dialysis patients, PACE program participants, behavioral health clients. In ZeitRide, you build the standing order once with the patient, pickup address, destination, frequency, vehicle type, and assigned driver. ZeitRide generates every future trip automatically, with no weekly re-entry required.
How does ZeitRide handle changes to a recurring trip series?
ZeitRide uses series-level editing — one update to the standing order propagates to every future trip in the series automatically. If a patient's address changes, a clinic shifts its hours, or a driver assignment needs updating, you edit the standing order once. You can also pause a series for a specific period without deleting or recreating the standing order.
Does ZeitRide's recurring route scheduling support EVV compliance?
Yes. ZeitRide captures EVV data automatically on every trip — including every instance of a recurring route — through the iOS and Android driver app. There's no separate EVV step or manual documentation process.
How does automated route scheduling for recurring trips connect to broker integrations?
ZeitRide integrates directly with MTM Health, CTS Transit, Provide A Ride, ProCare, DD Med Trans, and Tennessee Carriers. Recurring trips authorized through those brokers import directly into ZeitRide's recurring route scheduler. When broker authorizations expire, that data flows through to your recurring trip series automatically.
What happens to recurring trips when a driver is unavailable?
If the assigned driver for a recurring route calls out, ZeitRide's dispatch software identifies the next available qualified driver and reassigns those trips on the live manifest. The standing order retains the preferred driver assignment — so when the driver returns, the original assignment resumes automatically.
How much does NEMT recurring route software cost with ZeitRide?
ZeitRide costs $49/vehicle/month — flat, with no setup fees, no contracts, and no per-trip fees. Recurring route scheduling, automated trip generation, broker integrations, EVV capture, the driver app, dispatch, routing, and billing are all included at that rate.
How quickly can I get recurring routes set up in ZeitRide?
Most operators are live within 30 minutes of signing up and complete their first route — including recurring standing orders — within one day. No implementation project, no setup fee. You build your first standing order and your dispatcher works from a pre-populated manifest the next morning.
Does ZeitRide's driver app work on recurring rural routes with poor cell coverage?
Yes. The ZeitRide iOS and Android driver app includes offline GPS support — routes are cached locally on the driver's device so navigation stays active even without cell coverage, critical for rural recurring routes where connectivity is inconsistent.
