Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage

There are times when your nearest hospital may not be equipped to handle your emergency medical situation. In that case, you would need emergency ground or air ambulance transport to another hospital. Unexpected emergency transport like this can be expensive, especially if your primary insurance doesn’t cover a large portion of the cost. However, you can avoid any potential surprise bills with our Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage.

What is Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage?

Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage helps cover the cost of ambulance transportation between medical facilities. This coverage applies when you need to be transferred from one hospital to another for specialized care, treatment, or diagnostic services—such as an MRI or CT scan—that are not available at the current facility.

Why do I need Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage?

If you are receiving emergency medical treatment and need specialized care that’s not available at your current hospital, you may need to be transferred to another facility.

Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage ensures that you can get the treatment you need without worrying about the cost of the medical transport. You can count on financial protection from any expensive and unexpected ambulance bills, letting you focus on your health and recovery instead of worrying about potential medical debt.

Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage in action

Imagine you’re hospitalized due to a severe stroke. After initial treatment, your doctors determine that you need specialized care at a different hospital with a comprehensive stroke center. You’re transferred by ambulance to the new facility, where you get the care you need to recover.

A couple of months later, you receive a bill for the ambulance transport between hospitals. Your primary insurance covered a portion of the bill, but you still owe thousands of dollars for the rest. Fortunately, you have Hospital-to-Hospital Ambulance Coverage with MASA, and you give us a call to take care of the remaining balance. A few weeks after our initial call with you about the bill, we call again to inform you that it’s been paid in full.
