What is
Campers Insurance?
Campers
Insurance is a limited health and accident insurance
for participants in "camps" or other special events
that are not associated with regularly scheduled
classes (for example, summer sports camps for youth,
field trip discovery experiences, math or science
camps, etc.) The coverage
that is provided to the participants or volunteers
is limited and should be considered secondary to any
other group insurance policy or prepayment plan in
force for the covered person. The policy
covers only initial treatment expenses that are not
covered by the participant's or volunteer's health
insurance, such as deductibles or co-payments, and
is not intended to provide full coverage.
All
Lewis-Clark State College departments that
facilitate a camp or day activities are encouraged
to obtain this insurance for
the participants.
How is
Campers Insurance paid for?
Coverage is arranged through
Theresa Chrisman in Administrative Services and premiums are paid from
the registration fee or program funding source.
