9.3.3 Nonemergency Ground Ambulance Transportation
When the client has a medical problem requiring treatment in another location and he or she is so severely disabled that the use of an ambulance is the only appropriate means of transport, the ambulance transport is considered a nonemergency service. The definition of a severely disabled client is "one whose physical handicap limits their mobility to the extent that they must be transported by litter or requires life support systems, and an ambulance is the most appropriate means of transport."
Nonemergency ambulance transport must be to or from a scheduled medical appointment at the nearest appropriate facility for medically necessary care that is approved by the CSHCN Services Program.
