Medicare will pay for ambulance services that are medically necessary.
If you are in need of urgent medical care and need a medical transport company to take you to the hospital, those services are covered by Medicare Part B.
The biggest issue Medicare beneficiaries face with ambulance charges are in dealing with providers that do not accept Medicare assignment. The excess charges are not covered by Medicare.
