American Medical Response (AMR)

• What is it?
  

AMR reimburses gas mileage anywhere you drive to and from for Medicaid appointments. 

This includes therapy appointments (Speech, OT, PT), doctor visits, hospital visits, and possibly if you need to travel for appointments ie: Primary Children's Hospital, etc.

• How do I get it?

Once you qualify for Medicaid (Katie Beckett-it's all the same) then you qualify for AMR.

Call 1-877-503-1261 to set up your appointment I believe 48 hours in advance. You tell them what the appointment is for (Speech, doctor, OT), then give them the address you're going to, your home address, what time the appointment is for and the date. If this is a repeated appointment (weekly, every other week) you can schedule out 3 months worth of visits with just one phone call. Then when the 3 months have passed, call again to reschedule for another 3 months.

Your reimbursement will come as a check in the mail. You don't have to keep track of your miles or worry about anything else. 

If you are traveling for your appointment you can also get lodging and food paid for as well. They can set you up with a Ronald McDonald House or a discount on a hotel. They will also pay for you and your child's food up to a certain amount. The amount of the meals have to be discussed with an AMR representative so that will need to be discussed with them.
