What is Emergency Water Ambulance Transport Protection?
Our Emergency Water Ambulance Transport Protection benefit reimburses members up to $2,500 in out-of-pocket expenses when transport by watercraft is deemed medically necessary due to a serious emergency. The watercraft must be equipped with trained first-responder personnel who can provide emergency care and stabilization services during transport.
Whether you’re on a boat, near the shoreline, or in a coastal or lake region in the U.S., this protection helps cover the cost of emergency medical water transport when traditional ground or air options aren’t available or appropriate.
Why do I need Emergency Water Ambulance Transport Protection?
A medical emergency on the water is the last thing anyone plans for — but it happens more often than people may realize. Water-based emergency transports are a critical part of emergency response in many regions, and because they require specialized vessels, equipment, and trained medical crews, they can be costly and not always fully covered by traditional insurance.
Without the right protection in place, unexpected transport bills can quickly add financial stress to an already overwhelming situation. Our Emergency Water Ambulance Transport Protection helps reduce that burden by supporting the cost of medically necessary water transport and providing peace of mind when every minute matters.
Emergency Water Ambulance Transport Protection in action
Imagine you’re boating with friends when you suddenly experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness — potential signs of a possible heart attack. Because you’re far from shore and ground access isn’t an option, a water ambulance staffed with trained emergency medical personnel is dispatched as the fastest and safest way to provide help.
During transport, emergency personnel provide emergency care and monitoring while navigating directly to land. In a situation where every minute counts, this specialized response makes all the difference.
Later, you receive a large bill for the medically necessary services provided during your transport. Fortunately, with MASA’s Emergency Water Ambulance Transport Protection, you’re reimbursed for up to $2,500 in out-of-pocket expenses, helping ease the financial impact of an already stressful emergency.
