Definition: Florida covers transportation by ambulance to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. Transportation is also generally available by helicopter when medically necessary. Ambulance transportation is also available for non-emergency trips for health care when other modes of travel are not medically appropriate.

A physician’s order (non-emergency transportation ) and documentation of medical necessity (emergency transportation), and in some cases prior approval, is typically required.
