Fuel Surcharge Calculator for New York

Why New York NEMT Providers Need a Fuel Surcharge Policy

Fuel is one of the largest variable costs for any New York 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 New York 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 New York broker or facility clients.

Fuel Surcharge Strategy for New York NEMT Fleets

For New York private pay clients (nursing homes, hospitals, and direct patients), fuel surcharges can be included directly in your Master Service Agreement. For New York 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.
