Dear Scout Leader:
In spite of your best efforts to maintain safety standards in all your unit's
Scouting activities, accidents may occur. In such emergencies, you'll want
to see that the youths or leaders involved receive prompt medical attention
without having to be concerned about how the cost of such care is to be paid.
That is why your council is sponsoring a Council Accident and Sickness
Insurance Plan. This Plan provides financial protection against accidental
injury and sickness for all registered youths, leaders, volunteer leaders,
and seasonal volunteer staff during official Scouting activities.
Particular care should be taken to remind parents and leaders that medical
expense benefits are paid on an excess basis after the first $300.00. Please
refer to the brochure and claim form in your rechartering packet for details.
Please keep in mind that it is not the purpose of this coverage to replace
or diminish the need for family health insurance. Rather, its purpose is
to provide assurance that financial help is available to help meet emergency
medical expenses should an injury or illness occur during a Scouting activity.
PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW:
1. After treatment is given, notify
the business office at the Scout Service Center at (413) 594-9196. We will
send you a claim form for you to fill out if you don't already have one.
2. Follow the directions on the claim
form. For # 14 on the Claim Form, contact the business office at the Scout
Service Center to make arrangements to obtain the signature of the policyholder
representative.
3. Send your claim package to Health Special Risk, Inc.,
(address and telephone numbers on claim form).
