CMS Pub. 100-02, ch. 10, § 10.3.2
Institution to Institution
A3-3114.C.2, HO-236.3.B
Occasionally, the institution to which the patient is initially taken is found to have
inadequate or unavailable facilities to provide the required care, and the patient is then
transported to a second institution having appropriate facilities. In such cases,
transportation by ambulance to both institutions would be covered to the extent of the
mileage to be the nearest institution with appropriate facilities. Responsibility for
payment would follow the rules in § 10.3.3. In these cases, transportation from such
second institution to the patient's home could be covered if the home is within the locality
served by that institution, or the locality served by the first institution to which the patient
was taken.
