    Medicare 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.

    If it is a medical emergency Medicare will pay 80% of the cost of an ambulance ride to the hospital. 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.
