Why Waypoint
The Standard Eastern NC Has Been Waiting For
We built Waypoint because local patients deserve more than unreliable, unprofessional transport. We built this around one question: would I put my own grandmother in this van?.
Always On TimeSystemized dispatch and GPS tracking keep every ride on schedule. Missing a medical appointment is never an option.
Verified, Certified DriversFull background checks, CPR/First Aid certification, and professional NEMT training for every driver, without exception.
Women Drivers AvailableA genuine differentiator in our region. Female patients who prefer a woman driver can always count on Waypoint to accommodate.
Same-Day ResponseEvery call and text answered the same day. Yes this is not standard in the industry!.
Waypoint was founded by Keval, a Greenville resident whose family has deep roots in rural healthcare. He witnessed firsthand how unprofessional, unreliable NEMT operators were failing the patients who needed transport most — elderly, disabled, and Medicaid patients missing life-sustaining appointments because their ride simply didn't show up.
Waypoint was built to change that standard: rides that show up when we say they will, technology that keeps families informed, and drivers who care... all delivered with the heart of a neighbor, not a corporation.

Everything patients, families, and healthcare partners ask us most — answered.
Does Waypoint accept Medicaid?
We are actively working to become an approved Medicaid NEMT provider in North Carolina. Until then, we serve private-pay patients. Contact us to discuss pricing — many patients are surprised how affordable the rates are.
What's the difference between ambulatory and wheelchair transport?
Ambulatory transport is for patients who can walk but need a reliable, professional ride — ideal for dialysis, chemotherapy, and specialist visits when driving isn't an option. Wheelchair transport is for patients who use a manual or power wheelchair and need a vehicle with a hydraulic lift or ramp for boarding. Stretcher transport (coming soon) is for patients who must remain lying flat the entire trip — post-surgical or bed-bound patients.
Do you transport patients to Duke or UNC hospitals?
Yes. We transport patients to major medical centers across North Carolina including Duke University Medical Center (Durham), UNC Hospitals (Chapel Hill), ECU Health Medical Center (Greenville), and other out-of-area facilities. Long-distance and out-of-county transport is available — call (252) 275-7700 for scheduling and pricing.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend at least 24 hours in advance to guarantee availability. For recurring rides such as dialysis or chemotherapy, we'll set up a standing schedule so you never have to book again. Same-day rides are available — call (252) 275-7700.
Can a family member or caregiver ride along?
Yes. A family member, caregiver, or personal care attendant is welcome to ride along at no extra charge in most cases. Just let us know when you book so we can ensure proper seating for everyone.
Can I request a female driver?
Yes — and this is one of the reasons patients choose Waypoint. Many women and elderly patients are more comfortable with a female driver. Request it at booking and we will accommodate based on driver availability.
Are drivers background checked and certified?
Every driver undergoes a full criminal background check, motor vehicle record review, and drug screening. All drivers hold active CPR and First Aid certification and complete our NEMT driver training program before their first ride.
Do you serve all 11 Eastern NC counties?
Yes. We cover Pitt, Beaufort, Craven, Edgecombe, Greene, Lenoir, Martin, Pamlico, Washington, Wilson, and Wayne counties. If your pickup or destination is in Eastern NC, we come to you. See the full coverage map →
