Medical Transportation in Kentucky: What You Need to Know
Kentucky's UK HealthCare in Lexington and UofL Health in Louisville draw patients statewide — our NEMT coordinates both city rides and interstate transfers.
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 Kentucky 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 Kentucky rides within 2 hours of the request.
