Medicare Part B covers emergency ambulance transport to a hospital when you're unable to be transported by other means (e.g. car or a taxi) or your need medical care during transport. The ambulance must take you to the nearest medical facility (generally a hospital) that can provide you care.
In some instances, you may be able to get covered ambulance transportation in a non-emergency situation if you meet certain conditions (e.g. your doctor deems its medically necessary, traveling to a medical facility by other means would put your health at risk - you may want to check with Medicare to get full specifics on what conditions are required to be covered in a non-emergency setting where transportation by ambulance is needed).
