The Seymour Board of Education Policy covers all Seymour High School athletes who are injured during all scheduled practice sessions and contests. The insurance is provided through the Bollinger Insurance Co., Short Hills, N.J. and is a full excess policy. This means that the policy covers the expenses not paid by your primary insurance company, such as Anthem Blue Cross. If you do not have any primary insurance coverage, this policy will pay all incurred costs.

Any athletic injuries requiring medical attention should be reported immediately to the Head Coach of the particular sport. The coach will file an accident report with the School Nurse. The School Nurse will provide the parents of the injured student with the information and forms necessary to obtain excess coverage and reimbursement through Bollinger Insurance. It is the responsibility of the parents to complete and file the Bollinger Insurance paperwork in a timely manner in order to receive excess benefits.

Initially, all claims will be submitted first to the parent’s personal insurance carrier. Any costs not paid by the personal insurance carrier will then be submitted to Bollinger Insurance for reimbursement. Any questions concerning this coverage should be directed to the School Nurse or to the Business Office at 888-4564.
