A supplemental insurance program is provided for all St. Thomas Aquinas High School students to cover medical expenses incurred as a result of an accident at school. The policy is supplemental in that it pays only in excess of any family or employer group insurance plan, which must pay its maximum covered first. The insurance provided by St. Thomas Aquinas High School will pay the remainder. The following procedure must be followed in case of an injury or accident that occurs at school:
- The student must report the injury immediately to the person in charge (classroom teacher, coach, General Office personnel). If an immediate report is impossible, the injury should be reported within 48 hours after the injury was sustained.
- Pick up an insurance claim form from the principal s secretary in the General Office as soon as possible. Complete the form and file it with the school s insurance company.
- File a claim promptly through your family or group medical insurance plan (e.g., Blue Cross/Blue Shield).
- The remaining claim will be processed through our company and payment made directly to the person or facility that rendered the service.
