Why Iowa NEMT Providers Need a Fuel Surcharge Policy
Fuel is one of the largest variable costs for any Iowa NEMT fleet. When you signed your contracts with Modivcare and MTM, you locked in rates based on the fuel price at the time. If gas prices in Iowa have risen significantly since then, every mile you drive with a passenger is costing you more than you're being paid.
A Fuel Surcharge (FSC) is a transparent, metric-driven mechanism that lets you automatically adjust invoices to account for fuel price increases — without renegotiating base rates every few months with your Iowa broker or facility clients.
Fuel Surcharge Strategy for Iowa NEMT Fleets
For Iowa private pay clients (nursing homes, hospitals, and direct patients), fuel surcharges can be included directly in your Master Service Agreement. For Iowa broker contracts with Modivcare and MTM, you'll need to negotiate an explicit fuel escalation clause during contract renewal — use this calculator's PDF output as your evidence.
