After acquiring our business license we have opened a new office on St. Maarten at the Dannaway Medical Center in Simpson Bay along Airport Road.
MASA, founded 36-years ago, is the world's oldest and largest operator of pre-paid air ambulance membership services and now boasts 15 offices throughout the Caribbean with a membership base of over 100,000 people. MASA averages over 600 medical evacuations every year.
Last year, the government of Anguilla joined several other Caribbean countries in enrolling their entire base of civil servants in MASA air ambulance coverage and we hope for similar results in St. Maarten. However, anyone is welcome to join and there are no age restrictions.
The cost of a membership is $20 per month. And unlike an insurance company there are no out-of-pocket expenses, co-pays or deductibles or claim forms.
