Physician Certification Statement (PCS) Forms
A PCS (Physician Certification Statement) is a required document that verifies medical necessity for non-emergency ambulance transport. It must be completed and signed by a physician or qualified healthcare provider (such as an RN, PA, or NP) to confirm that the patient’s condition prevents safe transport by any other means. The PCS supports billing compliance with Medicare and Medicaid regulations and must be kept on file for each qualifying transport.
