STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Protecting the health and welfare of students is a concern that all school districts and school administrators face each day.
Student Accident Insurance helps ease those concerns by providing benefits for injuries that occur during school hours and
or school sponsored and supervised activities (i.e. athletics, gym class, playground, field trips, JROTC, etc.) Student accident
insurance serves to reduce or completely eliminate any out of pocket expenses not paid by primary coverage including
copays, deductibles, coinsurance, etc. and will pay on a primary basis in the absence of other collectible coverage. With the
increasing trend of high deductible plans, and more of the cost share shifted to the insured, Student Accident Coverage has
become more important than ever!
Enrollment for Voluntary Student Accident Insurance may be completed online at www.BollingerSchools.com or the parent
may download an application and mail it directly to Bollinger.
