Why Patients in New Orleans Choose Private Pay NEMT
If you or a loved one lives in New Orleans and needs reliable medical transportation, you may already know the frustrations of insurance-funded NEMT: rides that arrive late, vehicles that are not equipped for the patient, drivers who do not know the area, and broker hold times that stretch past 30 minutes. Private pay removes all of that.
With Crown Care you submit your ride details, online in 3 minutes or by phone, and a coordinator assigned to the New Orleans area calls you back with a personalized quote. No Medicaid paperwork. No broker in the middle. No surprise fees. Just a confirmed driver, a clean vehicle matched to the patient's needs, and an on-time pickup at the door.
We handle everything from weekly dialysis runs to one-time hospital discharge rides to long-distance transfers from New Orleans to specialty medical centers in other states. Every ride includes door-to-door assistance and a coordinator who knows your schedule.
