Transportation can be by ambulance, specialized medical vehicle (SMV) or common carrier. 38.3.1 Ambulance Ambulance transportation is a covered service, if it is provided by a BadgerCare Plus certified ambulance provider, and the member is suffering from an illness or injury that rules out other forms of transportation, and only if it is for: 1. Emergency care when immediate medical treatment or examination is needed to deal with or guard against a worsening of the person’s condition. 2. Non-emergency transportation when use of any other method of transportation is contraindicated and is authorized in writing by a physician, physician assistant, nurse midwife, nurse practitioner, or registered nurse. 38.3.2 Specialized Medical Vehicle (SMV) An SMV is a vehicle equipped with a lift or ramp for loading wheelchairs. The driver of an SMV must meet driver requirements in accordance with DHS 105.39 Wis. Admin Code. SMV transportation is a covered service if provided by a BadgerCare Plus SMV enrolled provider and a health care provider has documented why the member’s condition prevents them from using a common carrier or private vehicle.
