AMBULANCE MEMBERSHPS: AN
INVESTMENT IN YOUR SAFETY
The Upper Hanover Township Board of Supervisors encourages all residents to purchase annual memberships in the Upper Perkiomen Valley Ambulance Association. Your individual or family membership will help cover expenses in the event that you need emergency medical services or transportation to the hospital.
A membership protects you from incurring expenses that your insurance doesn’t pay. For example, if your insurance coverage sets a minimum or maximum for ambulance/paramedic services, your membership in the Ambulance Association would cover services not paid by the insurance company. If your insurance company does not cover ambulance/paramedic services, then your membership would cover those expenses (within guidelines).
For more information, call UPVAA at 215-679-5989.
