b'Medicare Part B covers ambulance services to or from a hospital, critical access hospital (CAH), or skilled nursing facility (SNF). Medicare covers and helps pay for ambulance services only when other transportation could endanger your health, like if you have a health condition that requires this type of transportation. Little known fact: If you can walk to the ambulance, Medicare will not pay for the service. So, even if you can walk, DON\\u2019T DO IT!\\n\\nMedicare will only cover ambulance services to the nearest appropriate medical facility that\\u2019s able to give you the care you need. If you choose to be transported to a facility farther away, Medicare\\u2019s payment will be based on the charge to the closest appropriate facility. If no local facilities are able to give you the care you need, Medicare will pay for transportation to the nearest facility outside your local area that\\u2019s able to give you necessary care.'
