The insurance is secondary to any health or accident insurance the parent or guardian might have that covers the student. This coverage is for accidents only. There is no coverage under this plan for sickness. Claim forms are available from the school secretary. The school insurance will cover only medical expenses if the company is notified of the accident within 90 days.
