Student/Athletic Accident Insurance
Your school has purchased accident coverage to protect all students involved in PE classes, athletics, and extra-curricular activities against accidental injury or death occurring while the policy is in force. Coverage is provided by The Richland Knowles Agency and administered by RPS Bollinger Specialty Group. Usual & Customary benefits are provided on a full excess basis.
If your primary medical coverage is a PPO or similar plan, you must follow their rules for obtaining benefits. If your primary medical coverage is not utilized, benefits otherwise payable under this policy may be denied.
Following is an example of how a Full Excess claim is handled.
A student incurs medical expenses of $100.00 for treatment of an injury sustained during a school sponsored event. The student’s parents have private group insurance. The medical bills must first be submitted to the parent’s insurance, being the primary carrier. The primary insurance pays $65.00 of the bill and sends an explanation of benefits (EOB) to the parents. The parents then submit a copy of the original bills along with a claim form and the primary insurance EOB to Bollinger, Inc., who may then pay up to $35.00 (the amount of covered expense that is “in excess of medical expense paid by another plan providing medical benefits.”)
