    No, if it were me, I wouldn't put ambulance expense under Medical Travel.   It's probably best to list it separately as I mention in the next paragraph and show in my image below.  While it would work there in Travel as for being included in your total expenses, medical travel expenses are usually for items such as transportation expenses to/from the doctor's office, travel to a specialty clinic/hospital in or out of state, lodging on a medical trip, medical mileage for your auto, etc.

     

    Near the very end of the medical expense section there is a place where you can list any miscellaneous medical expense that didn't fit nicely into one of the categories, and you can specifically notate it there as ambulance expense.   In the end, TurboTax lumps all the allowable expenses together to report on your return.  The categories are mainly to remind you to include everything.    See this image below for entering a custom expense.  Your screen may not look exactly like this image from desktop TurboTax, but the principle is the same.
