Medical Transportation in Arkansas: What You Need to Know
Arkansas patients frequently travel between rural communities and the UAMS-anchored Little Rock medical hub — Crown Care handles both local and long-distance transport.
Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) exists for one reason: getting patients to and from medical care when they cannot drive themselves and an ambulance is not needed. In Arkansas that might be a weekly dialysis session, a scheduled chemotherapy infusion, a hospital discharge home, a follow-up at a specialty center, or a long drive to a hospital in another state. Insurance-funded NEMT usually runs through a broker, which means advance-notice rules, shared vans and little control over which vehicle shows up.
Crown Care NEMT is 100% private pay. We do not bill insurance or Medicaid, and there is no broker between you and the dispatcher. That is what lets us match the vehicle to the patient, keep pickups on time, and confirm most Arkansas rides within 2 hours of the request.
