Extracurricular Student Insurance Date: July 14, 2014 The following facts should be fully understood by the parents and guardians of all United Independent School District athletes and students who participate in U.I.L. and extracurricular activities. 1. The United Independent School District carries accident insurance for students involved in school sponsored athletic and extracurricular activities. Your child will be covered while participating in, practicing for, and traveling to and from such an activity. Injuries occurring during regular class activities are NOT covered. 2. The insurance provided by the school is for activities that are sanctioned by U.I.L. rules and regulations and sponsored by the district. Accidents occurring during activities NOT directly related to the primary activity are not covered, i.e. fundraisers, car washes, etc United Independent assumes no responsibility as a result of injuries that occur during an athletic or U.I.L. event, however, this insurance is provided at school expense.

You will need to indicate on the Student Insurance claim form the name and address of your primary insurance carrier. 4. Since this coverage is secondary, the insurance carrier will pay only after they have received information from the primary health carrier as to how much of the claim was not paid. 5. If the student has no other insurance coverage the district plan will become the primary plan and will pay accordingly. The parent or guardian should indicate on the claim form if they have no other insurance.
