Springport Public Schools Insurance Notice
The Springport Board of Education has once again arranged for a student and athletic accident insurance program which will cover all students for all school sponsored and school supervised activities, including sports, for all accidental
injuries. This plan of coverage will supplement the family’s insurance coverage, by stepping in when family insurance does not pay, or has a deductible plan. In the event of no family insurance coverage, this plan will cover a maximum of $25,000 per claim for bills incurred within one year from the date of the accident. It will also cover up to $25,000 per claim for bills resulting from athletic injuries within the same time frame.

If you are covered by Health Maintenance Organization coverage, you must follow the rules and regulations of that Health Maintenance Organization for the school coverage to apply to the claim.

We are fully aware that many parents have varying degrees of coverage and that a few families might think it wiser to take the risk and pay out of pocket expenses their insurance would not cover. The school district wishes to assure that each student and athlete will be covered with blanket coverage by the combination of the parent’s coverage, if any and that protection purchases on the school name.

The school policy pays only in excess of any family or employer group insurance or plan that must contribute its maximum first.

The procedure for reporting an accidental injury is as follows:

1. Report the injury immediately to a teacher, coach, or administrative office.
2. File a claim promptly with your insurance plan.
3. Complete a form obtained from the Superintendent’s office showing bills
incurred, the payment received from other insurance, and the balance due.
4. Completed claim forms and itemized statements must be mailed to “The First Agency, Inc.” for prompt payment.
5. Call the Superintendent’s Office for any assistance with this insurance.

We ask your cooperation and support as this type of coverage is beneficial to all parents and students.

Sincerely, Board of Education
