   Medicare covers ground ambulance transportation when you need to be transported to a hospital, critical access hospital, or skilled nursing facility for MEDICALLY NECCESARY services, and transportation in any other vehicle could endanger your health. Medicare MAY pay for emergency ambulance transportation in an airplane or helicopter to a hospital if you need immediate and rapid ambulance transportation that ground ambulance can't provide. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies.
