ER waits shown are estimates. For the 13 ERs that Ochsner Health posts live waits for (Ochsner, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Tammany and Slidell Memorial), each card links to the live number. LCMC Health hospitals don't publish live waits. Our estimates combine CDC national ER visit data (NHAMCS 2022) on how waits vary by urgency and time of day with each hospital's own Medicare-reported ER times (Oct 2024–Sep 2025). Typical full visit and "left before being seen" come straight from Medicare. Star ratings are Medicare's Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating (1–5), which combines mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience and timely care.
Star ratings on urgent care and clinic cards are live Google ratings, shown with Google's permission through the Google Maps Platform. Distances are approximate straight-line miles from the center of the area you pick. Insurance and hours of operation come from each provider's website or listing and are updated regularly; always call to confirm your specific plan.
