Patients who rely on Merit's services include the wheelchair-bound, those requiring frequent visits to healthcare providers, such as for kidney dialysis, or who have other specialized transportation needs.
"We selected GEOCOMtms because our research showed that they were the leader in routing and scheduling," said Steven J Horne, Chief Operations Officer for Merit Medi-Trans, "and because they could meet our needs at an affordable price.
