    Behavioral Health Transportation

    Discreet, secure, dignity-first transport for psychiatric and behavioral health patients

    Insurance and private pay. Heart2Heart bills insurance for medically necessary transports such as dialysis, wound care and emergency-department related trips — coverage depends on the plan and is not guaranteed, and we can’t confirm accepted plans or authorization rules online. Rides booked and paid for directly on this website are paid by card at booking. We are not a Georgia Medicaid NEMT provider. If you have Medicaid transportation benefits, Georgia’s broker Verida arranges those rides at no cost to you — call 404-209-4000 (Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett) or 678-510-4555 (North Georgia), at least 3 business days ahead. Heart to Heart does not bill the VA or accept VA benefits as payment. Veterans may book and pay privately. For transportation arranged or paid for by the VA, contact your VA facility’s Beneficiary Travel office before booking.

    Behavioral Health

    Calm Transport for a Crisis Moment

    Behavioral health transport demands more than a stretcher — it requires de-escalation skills, secure vehicles, and crews who treat patients as people in crisis, not problems to manage. Heart2Heart partners with hospitals, ERs, and crisis stabilization units in Decatur and select areas of Atlanta for safe, low-stimulation psychiatric transfers.
