Coverage, Credentialing, Pay & Positioning
Kinetik's network reaches 44 states through more than 20 dispatch partners, close to ModivCare's 48-state footprint in raw numbers, but the structure is completely different. Kinetik provides the technology layer that connects health plans to dispatch partners, rather than contracting directly with state Medicaid programs itself.
There's no standard credentialing process to apply for with Kinetik directly the way there is with ModivCare or MTM. Kinetik's infrastructure may already be running behind a broker or health plan you're already credentialed with, without you needing to apply to Kinetik by name at all.
Payment is set by whichever health plan network you're actually credentialed into, not by Kinetik directly. That's a meaningful difference from ModivCare's published 15-to-30-day terms or MTM's 30-to-45-day terms, since Kinetik itself doesn't set the schedule.
Kinetik processes a striking volume, over $1.1 billion in NEMT claims and 13 million-plus trips, reflecting how much of the industry's technology backbone now runs through platforms like it rather than each broker building everything in-house. That makes it more comparable to Roundtrip's marketplace-and-infrastructure role than to a traditional state-contracted broker like ModivCare.
Don't spend time trying to apply to Kinetik the way you would ModivCare or MTM, that's usually not how the relationship works. Instead, understand that Kinetik's technology may already be part of the broker relationships you have, and factor that awareness into how you evaluate your existing broker's tools and requirements.
