Medical Transportation in Louisiana: What You Need to Know
Louisiana's Ochsner and LCMC systems serve a broad Gulf Coast patient base — Crown Care provides premium medical transport across New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and regional cities.
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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana rides within 2 hours of the request.
