Will Medicare pay for my ambulance ride?

Medicare.gov says Part B covers ground ambulance transportation when traveling in any other vehicle could endanger your health. You must also need medically necessary services from a hospital, a critical access hospital, a rural emergency hospital or a skilled nursing facility [1].

Medicare covers a ride only to the nearest place that can treat you [1]. After the Part B deductible, you pay 20% of the approved amount [1].

In some cases, Medicare may pay for a non-emergency ambulance. You need a written order from your doctor. It must say the ride is medically necessary [1]. If the company thinks Medicare may not pay for a non-emergency ride, it must give you an ABN form [1].

Open Medicare.gov, Ambulance services, at https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/ambulance-services and read the part quoted above. Your own plan or policy papers hold details these sources do not give: "Don't know yet" for your case.
