Do I have MASA MTS benefits if I am at home?

Yes! MASA MTS will be there for you if you become ill or get injured and require local transportation by ground ambulance or helicopter or if you need to be transferred by air ambulance to an upgraded medical facility. Your MASA MTS plan will also get you specialized medical care that is not available locally.

Do I have MASA MTS benefits if I am traveling?

Yes! If you get sick or injured and require hospitalization, MASA MTS can get you back home for treatment and recuperation.

Plus your plan can return a stranded vehicle back to your home by a bonded driver.

Who decides if I am going to be transported by an air ambulance?

Your attending physician and MASA MTS’s medical director determine when and where you will be flown. MASA MTS takes care of all the details and the transportation.

What do I do in an emergency?

If you are in the U.S., call 911 first as you would normally do. Once you are safe and in stable condition, call MASA MTS and they will take care of everything.

If you are overseas, use the emergency services available in your area and then contact MASA MTS.

What happens if I pass away while away from home?

MASA MTS will cover the air waybill for returning the member’s remains to the airport nearest the member’s permanent address.

When do my MASA MTS benefits start?

Medicare Solutions


Does it have Low Out-of-pocket Costs?

Every year, your Medicare supplement insurance policy benefits coordinate with your Medicare benefits to help you meet your eligible health care expenses, depending on the plan you choose. What’s more, you can be sure your benefits won’t decrease.

Can you choose your doctors and hospitals?

With your Medicare supplement insurance policy, you alone select all your health care providers to use whenever and wherever you choose. You don’t have to worry about your doctor or hospital leaving a provider network at any time.

Is coverage guaranteed renewable?

Your Medicare supplement insurance policy cannot be cancelled. It will be renewed as long as you pay the premiums on time and make no material misrepresentations.

Whole Life Insurance


Is everybody between age 45-85 guaranteed acceptance for this protection at affordable rates?

Yes! Acceptance is guaranteed for those between age 45 and 85.

Can I be turned down because I have health problems?

You cannot be turned down for any health reason. Your acceptance is guaranteed. (Each insured may have a combined maximum of $25,000 coverage of this type from United of Omaha Life Insurance Company.)

Will my rate always be exactly the same?

There is absolutely no way that your rate can be increased. The affordable rate you start with is the rate you stay with – for life. You’ll never pay any more.

You say “no obligation.” Please explain.

Just fill in the pre-approved application form and mail it in the postage-paid envelope with your payment. You will be billed your premiums and you’ll receive your policy. If you are not 100% satisfied, just return your policy to us within 60 days and your money will be refunded.

Disability


How does disability income insurance work?

Disability insurance provides supplementary income in the event an illness or accident results in a disability. Benefits are usually paid monthly so the insured can maintain a comparable standard of living and pay recurring expenses.

What do disability insurance policies usually cover?

Disability insurance may cover everything from total disability to rehabilitation and even the short period after you recover from your disability.

Hospital Indemnity


Who would choose the nursing facility or hospital for your recovery and care?

You would. Just the thought of not being in our own surroundings and in control of our lifestyle is uncomfortable. But, an accident or illness may leave you with no other choice for recovery and care. A Recovery Care insurance plan gives you the freedom to choose how you want to recover and where.

Hearing


How long can you test the hearing aids?

You have 60 day trial period

What if my battery dies?

You will receive up to a 3 year supply of batteries. That's 40 cells per hearing aid.

Accident


I also have disability coverage. Isn’t that enough?

Ideally, you'd have both, because your disability coverage may not provide you a lump-sum payment to help you to take care of day-to-day living expenses and still have money for your recovery. Accident coverage can pay a lump-sum benefit in addition to any disability coverage you may have. Also, most disability plans provide a reduced monthly benefit, and many are valid for just a limited time.

Will my premiums increase in the future?

Your premiums are group premiums designed to make this coverage affordables.

What is covered?

Covered losses range from loss of hearing to more serious injuries, such as paralysis and brain damage.
