Don’t let your finances prevent you from calling an ambulance . . .
Become a member of our Emergency Services Discount Plan (ESDP) today!

The MBA Emergency Services Discount Plan (ESDP) was created to provide the community with an affordable method to help reduce ambulance costs in the event that they are transported to the hospital by MBA for advanced or basic life support, critical care transport, or even at an event with MBA as the stand-by ambulance.

If you have insurance, the ESPD will cover the remaining charges not already paid for by most insurance policies. If you do not have insurance, your charges will be reduced by 50%.

For Emergency Services under the ESPD:

  • No co-pay will be billed.
  • No deducible will be billed.
  • Insurance company denials for Emergency Services will be reduced by 50%.
  • Uninsured members will be billed and responsible for 50% of their emergency transport.

Those eligible to take advantage of our ESDP include insured or uninsured individuals and families. Families are considered spouses and children under the age of 18 who reside at the same address. Memberships are renewable annually.

Current annual membership rates: 

Individual Plan: $100 
Family Plan: $150
