CMS Pub. 100-02, ch. 10, § 10.2.5
Transport of Persons Other Than the Beneficiary
No payment may be made for the transport of ambulance staff or other personnel when
the beneficiary is not onboard the ambulance (e.g., an ambulance transport to pick up a
specialty care unit from one hospital to provide services to a beneficiary at another
hospital). This policy applies to both ground and air ambulance transports.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
