Student Injuries and Insurance (for all students, not just for athletics)

Dear Parent/Legal Guardian:

Alamogordo Public Schools is committed to providing a safe environment for your students. As such, your school carries accident medical coverage for injuries to students that occur while your student is on campus attending regularly scheduled classes, practicing and playing in interscholastic sports for the school, and attending events that are directly sponsored by and directly supervised by the school. Please know that your school does not assume responsibility for these costs, and the policy is provided to assist when accidents do happen and help with resulting medical treatment. The policy is secondary to any existing primary coverage to assist with any co-pays and deductibles left by primary coverage. But, in the event there is no primary coverage, this policy will act as primary in those instances to assist with medical costs.

If the district policy will be your primary coverage for school-related activities and interscholastic sports and you are asked to provide a policy number, you should use Ace American Insurance Company SDA N18010744. If you have primary coverage, you’ll want to continue to use your primary coverage policy number when asked to provide it for all school activities.

In the event a student is involved in a covered accident, a claim form will need to be completed and submitted. The forms listed below are also available at www.myers-stevens.com. Under the drop-down “Services” tab, you can choose “Claims Adjudication” for PDF links to these forms. 

A few things to remember; 1) Coverage extends to all school-sponsored, school-supervised events, including all interscholastic sports. 2) For students without any primary insurance coverage, we are their primary accident coverage, but we are still secondary to any primary insurance coverage. This means we will also assist parents with co-pays and deductibles for covered accidents. 3) Parents/guardians are free to seek treatment with any licensed practitioner. 4) We can reimburse parents/guardians if they pay for the covered service out-of-pocket, or we can reimburse the facility or doctor if they bill us.
