Does Medicare Pay for Ambulance Billing ?

What is Ambulance Transportation ?

Ambulance Transportation is deemed necessary during instances in which the person is severely injured or unconscious or not in a position to travel by a car. This emergency requires treatment that can be given by paramedics, accompanying an ambulance.

What is Medicare Coverage for Ambulance Transportation ?

Medicare coverage largely depends on the seriousness of the case which is based on several factors. It is paid for both ground and air, only to the nearest medical facility.

For Ambulance Transport, Medicare Covers…

 Moving from a skilled nursing facility to a hospital or vice versa is paid  Patients in need of dialysis are eligible for a round trip  The provider must be a Medicare certified

Medicare Non-Covered Instances  A wheelchair van transportation is not covered by Medicare nor are paramedic intercepts  Non-emergency require a certificate by the physician stating the importance of ambulance
