Protect your employees from costly emergency bills

Overwhelmed-by-medical-bills

Why are some emergency
transport claims denied?

  • Your health insurance gets to decide if the trip was “medically-necessary.”
  • There are over 27,000 ambulance companies operating in the United States and health insurance may only cover a limited number of in-network providers.
  • Even if the trip is deemed medically necessary and the provider is in-network, health insurance may only pay a set amount based on the “Usual, Customary and Reasonable Rate.”
  • UCR billing is just one of many ways people may end up with a balance bill, not even mentioning the copays and deductibles you may be responsible for.

On a trip to Europe in 2015, I ended up in a German hospital for a week. MASA flew my wife and I back home to Oregon, and arranged to have our truck and travel trailer that was stored in Florida driven to our home in Oregon. Both the airfare and RV transport was covered by MASA and saved us way more than our subscription to MASA services. Thank you.

I had to receive emergency surgery at the trauma unit and my wife and family were back home, 6 hours away. After being released to return home, we soon found ourselves with a huge amount of bills. I am very grateful to have had a Plan with MASA that was able to pay for the ambulance transport. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who has to travel for their job as I do. You never know what can happen when you least expect it.

I am so thankful for having MASA before needing an ambulance transport to Wickenburg Hospital and then on to Del Webb hospital. MASA has eased my mind knowing all expenses were being taken care of.

My wife is a member of the Georgia Retired Educator Association. She won our first MASA Plan at the GREA Convention. The next year we renewed our Plan and became a part of MASA's family. We like MASA because of cost, services, and MASA can be used in the U.S.A. and outside the U.S.A. Great investment for our family.
