There is no charge to the individual for using the services of a licensed health insurance agent—the commission is entirely paid by the carrier. The carrier is prohibited from selling the policy any cheaper if an individual does not use an agent.
 
Medical Air Services Association (MASA) is an international association founded more than 30 years ago dedicated to providing life-saving emergency assistance from home or while traveling.

MASA has the largest membership base in the industry for good reason; quite simply, there is tremendous pride in the level of care provided MASA members.  When a MASA member calls, they fly into action to take care of the members specific emergency situation and get them to the specialized care they deserve.

MASA membership is designed not only to save lives, but also to protect our members from catastrophic financial loss when medical emergencies requiring air and/or ground ambulances.  One simple toll-free phone call gives you full access to a team of professionals and all of our member benefits - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.  MASA is always on duty for you and your family. 

An average medical flight costs $10,000 and can be well over $50,000.  Today these flights are becoming more and more common for the average family.  In almost every case, a very expensive flight is utilized for any organ transplant, serious coronary problem, bone reconstruction, serious accidents and illnesses that occur at home or while traveling.

From the initial call, MASA will do everything they can to help members during a medical emergency; getting them to the medical specialists they need as quickly and safely as possible, all at no cost to the member.
