Oh that change we don't need a office location.. That deterred me from moving forward. Great Video. 👍🏿 New Subscriber.

No more Brick and Mortar requirements in Cali??! I’m so excited to hear the news. I had a 1 on 1 with Monica that I was supposed to complete but that one requirement was a huge setback for me so I never finished. I’m so ready to start 🙏🏾

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

So glad Medical made this change. It’s time for you to strategize and get back on it.

[@kayjenayway2972]

This is just amazing. I’m in California! How long did it take you all to get started on your business?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

I truly don’t recall but I do know we didn’t sit on the idea to long before we took action.

[@michelleh.g.4982]

Thanks so much for finally covering our state...question..so you can bill Medi-Cal while waiting on your application to be approved????

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

You must be fully credentialed before you can began summiting claims to Medical for reimbursement.

[@brendarios2552]

Thank you for giving info on California. What are the pros and cons to having an office?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Pros: Somewhere to park your vehicle. Drivers have a designated spot to pick up the vehicles. A place to conduct business meetings. More professional look on applications. Cons: The cost!!!!!

[@LidiaSimon-h1j]

Thank you MJ! is there anyway you could set up flowsheet on how to proceed with application in California?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

@@LidiaSimon-h1j What application are you referring too?

[@fernandooyama9790]

I am in vendorizarion process with Regional Center with all documentation. Do you think would be easier to start an NEMT?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Are you in the vendorization process for NEMT or something else?

[@fernandooyama9790]

Vendorization process to become NEMT for Inland Regional Center ARF’s.

[@blucollar3003]

Does CA require a commercial driver license to drive for an NEMT? A wheelchair modified van is what I am considering starting with.

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

No CDL

[@chrismiller127]

What online website do you all recommend to get your wheelchair certification? Thanks.

I’m in San Diego and would love to start a non-medical transportation business.

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

What is holding you back?

[@johnbonilla778]

Can I start a nemt business in california with 1 van, or do brokers require more than one vehicle to start?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Hello, it depends on the broker. We started with one van.

[@johnbonilla778]

Oh ok great. Thank you for the information 💯

[@yohan.al2000]

Is working with a broker as a new provider something you did?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Yup!

[@blongxiong7398]

I'm in Sacramento, CA. I'm applying to be a provider for Medi-Cal. They're requesting an NPI. Should I get an NPI? I've also asked the Medi-Cal representatives, but they're also super lost. Please advise.

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

You will need a NPI in order to become a vendor of the state. We have several videos on how to apply for one on this channel. For one on on support use the link below to schedule a consultation. www.mjbusinessacademy.com/services/11-consultation/

[@beverlyhuggins9620]

What is the next step to get medical requests once I have my npi and insurance? Is there a step-by-step list?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

@@beverlyhuggins9620 No list but you can schedule a call with us for 1 on 1 guidance. We can help lay it all out for you. Feel free to visit our website. Www.mjbusinessacademy.com.

How about insurance needs? Commercial liability and auto insurance??

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Find a NEMT insurance agent they can help you find sustainable coverage.

[@williamhawkins9653]

Is there a class or training on how to bill MediCal directly for services?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Manuals can be found on the Medical website or you can hire a medical biller to submit claims on your behalf.

[@LadyPearl805]

Do you have to be registered or licensed through ccld to operate NEMT

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

Regulations differ depending on the state.

How much money do you need to invest to start? In CA

[@IamIvanDominguez]

The application fee is about $700 and some changes, the LLC is about $800 a year, but I think when you open the LLC you won’t pay that much, you might end up paying $270 or something like that using ZenBusiness, is very simple and they will give you a call to make sure that you are opening the right LLC/Corporation for the type of business that you want to run. Then you need a can, something that is not going to leave you broken in the middle of the road, a minivan is perfect for it, but you can always start with a sedan and grow from there. I’m not sure how much the county/city might change to have a permit to operate this kind of business, I believe these ladies said something around $600+ for a permit, every county/city is different.

Is a NEMT business still profitable if I don't want any employees? I'm a current NEMT Driver and love the job but want to cut out the middleman

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

@@okidokii85 Yup! You can make a great living.

[@rrrrr88881]

What kind of services brokers provide exactly? Thank you!

[@IamIvanDominguez]

If I’m not mistaken the Broker is the one that will get you clients, obviously for a fee %, but they are the one that can send a lot of business to you. But you can also go on your own and do what the two beautiful ladies suggested, going to senior facilities, clinics, and similar places and passing your flyers and business cards.

[@brendarios2552]

Sorry another question, if you don’t want to put your home address for the business Can we open a P.O. Box?

When you are creating your LLC a P.O Box is not accepted. However, you can use a virtual address.
