While more than 1.35 million kids suffer a sport-related injury that requires emergency room treatment each year, at an estimated cost of $935 million, student accident coverage is what can help to mitigate the “out of pocket” losses.

At K-12 schools, these accidents are frequent and sometimes severe. In today’s rapidly changing health insurance landscape, out of pocket medical expenses are growing, creating financial burdens for families and exposing schools to contentious liability claims.

We offer the combination of Student Accident for everyday injuries and Catastrophic Medical for the most severe sports-related injuries (with the same carrier). This can help ensure a school is covered for most incidents, therefore minimizing parents’ out-of-pocket medical expenses. From Science Class to Recess, Phys Ed to Football, Cheerleading to Chess Club.

Competitive rates for the 2015-16 school year are now available. Contact Dmitriy Glazer for additional information.
