Medically Necessary Services. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that enrollment in this program does not entitle the Subscriber to use the Fire District ambulance services or transportation that is not medically necessary. Medically necessary is defined as specific need for ambulance services or transportation where use of other services or forms of transportation, such as a private car or taxi, would be medically inappropriate. The absence of alternative services or methods of transportation does not, by itself, constitute medical necessity. If a subscriber and/or eligible dependent requests the Fire District’s ambulance service and it is determined by the Fire District that it was not medically necessary, the Subscriber/dependent will be liable for the actual costs incurred in providing such service. The Fire District reserves the right to require a physician’s certification of medical necessity.
