Frequently Asked Questions
Does
MASA work while I am at home?
Absolutely! Whether you are in need of specialized medicine
not available locally, or if you become ill or suffer an
injury that requires local transportation by ground
ambulance or helicopter, or if you need to be transported by
air ambulance to an upgraded medical facility, MASA will be
there for you.
How does
MASA work when I am traveling?
If you suffer an illness or injury that requires
hospitalization MASA can return you home for treatment or to
recuperate in familiar surroundings. If you require air
ambulance transportation, MASA can send a relative or friend
with you and if your vehicle is stranded MASA will return
that to your home by a bonded driver.
Who
makes the decision if I am going to be transported by an air
ambulance?
Your attending physician and MASA's medical director
determine where and when you will be flown. Once the
decision has been made, MASA takes charge.
How much
does an air ambulance flight cost?
Air ambulance transportation is expensive, sometimes $50,000
or even more! In most instances health insurance or Medicare
coverage pays little, if any, of this expense and they don't
provide the other benefits that MASA provides to you with
the Platinum membership.
What
happens if I pass away while away from home?
MASA will make the arrangements and pay for the return of a
member's remains to the airport nearest to the member's
permanent residence.
Where
can I use MASA's services?
MASA's Platinum Members have worldwide coverage. Wherever
you go, MASA is there with you!
