T L C Transportation

What T L C Transportation does

TLC Transportation is a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) provider operating in Nassau and Suffolk County on Long Island, New York. The company, which operates as a DBA under US Digital Sciences Corp, is headquartered in Holtsville, NY, and serves healthcare facilities (hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis centers, behavioral institutes, rehabilitation centers) and individual patients requiring ambulatory, wheelchair-accessible, and stretcher transportation. The fleet comprises ambulettes with hydraulic wheelchair lifts, sedans, mini-vans, 14-passenger vans, and buses, enabling service across a range of patient mobility needs. Beyond core medical transport, the company offers corporate travel, airport transfers, group/activity transportation, and special event services.

The company's technology stack centers on operational safety and dispatch coordination. All vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking systems monitored by base dispatchers, dual-facing cameras for safety and training, tablet systems, and Nextel radios for real-time communication. A computerized dispatch system with mapping capabilities coordinates all transports. The fleet is maintained in the company's own NYSDOT-approved service center with continuous DOT inspections. Drivers are NYS DMV-licensed, uniformed, wear ID badges, and undergo background checks, drug testing, and periodic safety and sensitivity training. Customers access services through two local phone lines (Suffolk and Nassau), a secure online booking portal, and direct facility relationships.

TLC Transportation operates on a per-trip fee model with quote-based pricing described as "competitive and reasonable." The company accepts Medicaid as a payment source, which is a critical payer channel for NEMT services. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct healthcare facility relationships, individual patient referrals, and word-of-mouth from satisfied customers. The company has 12 employees per firmographic data, though this likely captures office/administrative staff rather than the full driver workforce. No revenue, funding, or financial performance data is publicly disclosed. The operating entity is privately held with no identified institutional investors or parent company ownership.

Broad incumbents

• MTM (Medical Transportation Management): MTM is a national NEMT broker and manager for state Medicaid programs, health plans, and MCOs. It competes with TLC for the institutional and Medicaid-funded rides TLC depends on, but at a much larger network-management scale rather than as a direct fleet operator.
• Uber Health: Uber Health is Uber's healthcare-focused ride booking product for NEMT and patient transport, used by health systems and payers. It is a broader incumbent competing for the same ambulatory medical rides TLC serves, but does not offer wheelchair-accessible or stretcher transport.
• Modivcare: Modivcare (formerly LogistiCare) is one of the largest U.S. NEMT brokers and managers, coordinating Medicaid and managed-care rides across many states. It is a broad incumbent in the same end-market as TLC, but operates as a network manager rather than a regional fleet operator.
• American Medical Response (AMR): AMR is a large national provider of both emergency and non-emergency medical transportation, including stretcher and wheelchair transport. It competes with TLC for higher-acuity NEMT and stretcher trips and represents the kind of scaled incumbent that could pressure smaller regional providers on facility contracts.

Regional players

• Medical Answering Services (MAS): MAS operates as the primary NEMT manager/broker for several New York Medicaid programs and serves many of the same dialysis, nursing home, and rehab facilities TLC does. It is a regional broker in TLC's home geography and shapes which providers get assigned Medicaid trips in Nassau and Suffolk.

Direct peers

• Veyo: Veyo is a tech-enabled NEMT broker and provider that uses data and digital dispatch to manage non-emergency medical rides for Medicaid and health plan members. Directly comparable to TLC's core NEMT-to-dialysis-and-facility service, but operating at multi-state scale rather than a two-county regional footprint.
• SafeRide Health: SafeRide Health is a technology-driven NEMT platform that coordinates non-emergency medical rides for health plans and providers, including ambulatory, wheelchair, and stretcher levels. It is a direct peer to TLC's NEMT focus but differentiates via a national, software-led model rather than an owned regional fleet.
• Lyft Healthcare: Lyft Healthcare offers non-emergency medical transportation through its rideshare platform, targeting health plans, hospitals, and patients. It competes directly with TLC for ambulatory NEMT rides, though it lacks TLC's wheelchair-lift ambulette and stretcher capabilities.
