LOUISIANA TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS
Verida understands the challenges of providing transportation services because many of our employees and managers were once transportation providers. As a transportation broker, we know that it requires reliable transportation providers to deliver safe and timely transportation experiences for program members. To foster a culture of excellence, Verida provides leadership, support, and technology to the transportation providers in our network.
Verida contracts with a variety of NEMT providers to deliver a range of transportation services within the programs we serve. Ambulatory, wheelchair, stretcher, and in some programs Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport services are often needed to meet a variety of NEMT needs. Qualified transportation providers are invited to contract with Verida in areas where there is a need for transportation resources.
To our Louisiana NEMT providers:
Healthy Louisiana has revised Informational Bulletin 21-2: Medicaid Managed Care Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Provider Issue Resolution.
Healthy Louisiana has revised Informational Bulletin 24-4: Managed Care Ambulance Provider Issue Resolution (Emergent and Non-Emergent).
