Ambulance rides and helicopter flights

We are just a few months away from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and while it may not apply to you if you are on Social Security, it has an indirect impact on all of us. Health insurance will change dramatically with the new act as almost every insurance carrier has said that there will be an increase in health care costs across the board.

Obviously, the positive aspect of the new act is that people who were not able to afford health insurance in the past, or who were not eligible because of pre-existing conditions, will now be able to buy health insurance and be covered immediately. I’ve read the act; it appears that ambulance coverage, ground and air, is limited particularly because of the likely high deductibles, and it is quite possible you may have to pay for your ambulance coverage out of pocket…unless you have MASA coverage!

Medical Air Services Association’s member benefits will not change, which means if you need ambulance services we will still provide them free of charge to you. Also, if your health insurance has a high deductible, say $10,000, the services we provide to you free of charge will also be applied as a credit to your deductible. If you need a helicopter flight that costs $25,000 we pay for all of it and you will have met your deductible for the year. That is quite a bonus for you and it certainly enhances the value of your membership with MASA.

MASA has been around for 40 years using the motto: MASA provides you and your family with “peace of mind.” Now a MASA membership provides more peace than ever. Please tell your friends about this so they can avoid the potential financial catastrophe a single flight can cause. Be safe and healthy and have a great summer!

Yes, I sell the MASA plans and I own one!
