A temporary ambulance permit is needed on new or used units that are being added to your fleet and ready for OEMS inspection. Temporary permits can be granted by your regional specialist (logistics) providing that the OEMS permitting inspection will be delayed.
Temporary permits are good for 10 days from the date of issue.
In the event of having a loaner ambulance, contact your regional specialist for details.
