AMR reserves the right to require a certificate of medical necessity from a qualified physician in determining medical necessity. Without limiting the foregoing, transports to doctors’ or dentists’ offices; or outpatient trips to or transfers to another medical facility for the patient’s family or physician’s convenience, are generally not considered medically neces- sary.
