State Senator John A. DeFrancisco helped publically announce the creation of 80 jobs at Medical Answering Services in Syracuse during a press conference at MAS on August 14, 2013. The additional jobs are a result of the company's new contract with the state. MAS has provided Medicaid Transportation Management services in New York state since 2004, resulting in millions of dollars of savings. Senator DeFrancisco joined other elected officials and MAS leaders and staff for the press announcement.
