Athletic Insurance Information

Dear Parents:

Spring Independent School District provides insurance coverage for all athletes and cheerleaders in grades 7-12. The policy is a supplemental plan with a $250 deductible. The deductible is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. The school insurance will be used to defray medical expenses and hospital bills not covered by the family insurance with certain limitations. Athletes and all cheerleader groups are covered from the first day of practice through the last game. Offseason activities are covered by athletic insurance.

The coverage for injuries arising from UIL activities will be provided by two policies; an allinterscholastic sports plan and a high limit catastrophic plan. The sports plan provides up to $25,000 for "covered expenses" after the $250 deductible is paid by the parents and after any personal or group medical insurance on the athlete has paid its benefit if available. The high limit catastrophic plan covers injuries in excess of $25,000 up to $5,000,000 of "covered expenses" in excess of those paid by personal or group medical insurance. Catastrophic coverage includes athletics and cheerleading.

Certain "covered expenses" are limited within the policy. Filing of Claims:
Claim forms must be submitted within 90 days of the accident.
Treatment must begin within 90 days of the accident.
Only one claim form per accident is required.
The athletic supervisor (coach or trainer) or activity sponsor completes the top portion of the form and the parent must complete the bottom portion of the form.
Claims can only be processed with Itemized bills; statements are not acceptable.
