What Medical Center Transportation Covers
Medical center transportation covers non-emergency private rides to hospitals, clinics, dialysis centers, and doctor offices. We provide sedans, SUVs, and vans for patients, family members, and medical staff. Service is scheduled in advance and includes door-to-door pickup and drop-off.
Who Uses Medical Center Transportation in New Orleans
Patients traveling to University Medical Center, Ochsner Medical Center, and Tulane Medical Center use the service for appointments and procedures. Out-of-town family members visiting loved ones at local hospitals book sedans from MSY or downtown hotels. Medical device representatives and clinical trial participants reserve rides for recurring visits. Seniors and veterans traveling to the VA Medical Center on Canal Street also use this service.
Where We Operate and When
Our dispatch team arranges medical rides through vetted local affiliate operators across Orleans and Jefferson parishes. University Medical Center New Orleans opened in 2015 and operates a Level 1 trauma center at 2000 Canal Street. Ochsner Medical Center on Jefferson Highway is the largest nonprofit hospital in Louisiana. Service is available by reservation seven days a week, including early-morning appointments.
How Pricing Works
Sedan transfers to downtown medical centers are from $130. Transfers from MSY to University Medical Center or Tulane Medical Center are from a written flat rate. Hourly as-directed service is from $120 per hour with a three-hour minimum. SUVs and wheelchair-accessible vehicles cost more. Rates include tolls, parking, and gratuity. Waiting time during long appointments is billed separately.
An Honest Limitation
We are not an ambulance service and cannot provide medical monitoring, stretcher transport, or oxygen. Passengers needing wheelchair lifts, stretchers, or medical attendants should book specialized medical transport. Heavy traffic on Canal Street and Jefferson Highway can affect appointment arrival times.
