STUDENT INSURANCE

Student accident insurance coverage may be offered by the district in order to keep the insurance premium within the reach of the majority of students. Premiums are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

To be eligible for consideration, an agency and/or underwriting company must provide knowledgeable local representation to follow up problem claims, answer questions concerning coverage and procedures and expedite the entire program from the standpoint of communication among the claimant, doctor or hospital and claims office. The underwriting company, if not located in Washington, must maintain an agent within the state with authority to handle, adjust and process claims so that final claim determination shall be made within the state of Washington.
