How to File a Claim
1) If your son or daughter has an accident at school and you have purchased the student insurance program, please obtain a claim form from the school principal's or athletic office or this website. This coverage is secondary, 'EXCESS' insurance, and may not pay for all medical expenses. If you have primary insurance, you should stay in your primary insurance network in order to receive the maximum benefits. You must file a claim with your primary family insurance first. If you do not have insurance this coverage will pay up to the limits outlined on the Summary of Insurance.
2) Part B of the claim form will need to be filled out by the school official if the injury happened at school. The Parent is required to complete Part A and mail to KidGuard Insurance's claim office. Please follow the instructions printed on the claim form.

WHERE TO SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT
If a student has Primary Insurance they should stay in that primary insurance network even if they have a deductible. They must file a claim with any primary insurance coverage first to be eligible for the student accident insurance even if they have a deductible. If there is no primary insurance coverage, students may seek medical treatment from any licensed hospital or licensed physician and be eligible to receive the stated school policy benefits that are outlined in the enrollment application. Please refer to the top part of the enrollment application for a summary listing of policy benefits, limitations and exclusions.
The Insurance Company cannot regulate how much doctors or other providers of service charge. Doctors and Hospitals are allowed to establish and charge their own fee levels. Doctors and Hospitals may charge more than what the KidGuard Insurance accident insurance policy pays. The insurance benefits will be paid based upon the stated policy provisions. A summary of insurance is available on this website under the "Student Accident Insurance" link. Please retain this policy summary for your records.
