"Everyone at MASA did their best to make me comfortable and they all helped us through a very difficult time. I'm very grateful for MASA personnel for making this stressful transfer easy for me.
I would recommend MASA to everyone who spends time in another location far from home.

"After several days being at home the bills started arriving, two ambulance trips, medical procedure at two hospitals...and my retrun trip home. The folks at MASA advised they would review the claims...the decision was that they would cover the total cost...without the MASA Membership I would have had to finance the payments for the ambulance trips for some time.
