Does Medicare Pay For Ambulance Rides?
15786 POINTSContact Meview profileBob VineyardPROFounder, Georgia Medicare Plans, Atlanta,GAMedicare will cover ambulance transport when your situation is considered medically necessary and any other form of transportation would be a danger to your health. Medicare will only cover the cost of transport to the closest facility that is able to treat your condition. Be aware that non-par providers are allowed to balance bill above the Medicare allowance.Answered on March 22, 2014+21+1 this answer

If you have a Medicare Supplement it will pay the other 20%. If Medicare does not consider your use of an ambulance as a medical emergency you will have to pay the full cost of the ambulance ride.Answered on March 30, 2016flag this answer
