Procedure for Filing an Insurance Claim for an Athletic Injury

Note: Student-athletes and parents/guardians acknowledge participation risks through the athletic registration process, which includes required consent and release forms.

If a student-athlete is injured during a Wethersfield High School (WHS) athletic activity and the family is seeking reimbursement through Wethersfield Public Schools, the following protocol must be followed. Please note that Wethersfield Public Schools’ insurance coverage is secondary and will apply only after the family’s primary insurance has reached its coverage limit.

1. Injuries that are not addressed by the WHS trainer or team doctor need to be reported to the coach immediately, so that notification can be sent to the athletic trainer.

2. The student athlete must seek medical attention at a primary care physician, walk-in center, or hospital within 24 hours of the injury.

3. All medical documentation should be shared with the AT and school health office.

4. If the student-athlete requires academic or physical accommodations, the school health office must receive written notification (whsnurses@wethersfield.me).

5. The parent/guardian is responsible to initiating and completing the Accident Claim Form with the exception of the accident information section, which will be completed by the athletic trainer.

6. FAQ on page 3 provides all the information of what the parent/guardian are required to submit.

7. The parent/guardian has 90 days from the date of injury to complete this process.

8. All correspondence about the reimbursement will be between the parent/guardian and A-G Specialty Insurance.

9. Any questions please contact the athletic trainer Krystal Creecy (kcreecy@wethersfield.me) or the athletic director Sterling Scanlon (sscanlon@wethersfield.me)
