Gold membership offers a per-occurrence automatic payment of $200 for ambulance usage.
A new NASE prescription drug discount card is also included in both new membership packages. NASE Members can save up to 55% on their prescriptions for their entire family. This card is included at no extra cost to the membership.
For their business, the new NASE Gold Membership includes free Web site design of up to seven pages of a new site, and free usage of an online contact database manager with integrated HTML e-mail and printing capabilities.
