MASA Medical Transport Solutions - New Flyer
Attached is a digital copy of the 500 MASA Flyers I will be bringing on Monday. Also the St. Louis Post Dispatch just had an article come out yesterday that is a perfect example of the extortion of air ambulance companies as well as primary health insurance only paying what themselves deem as usual and customary charge. This article shows both company's Air-Evac and Blue Cross Blue Shield are both at fault for this individual receiving a balance bill. Only a MASA Membership can provide coverage on, Any Air. Any Ground. Any Where. Also attached to this email is a copy of the ABC Nightline News Video conducted a year ago exposing air ambulances companies and their tactics. I would encourage you to utilize this material when possible as it will increase awareness of the issue as well as the importance of the MASA Membership.
