WHAT PARENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LITTLE LEAGUE
INSURANCE
The
Little League Insurance Program is designed to afford protection to all
participants at the most
economical cost to the local league. The Little
League Player Accident Policy is an excess coverage,
accident only plan, to be used as a supplement
to other insurance carried under a family policy or insurance
provided by parent’s employer. If there is no
primary coverage, Little League insurance will provide
benefits for eligible charges, up to Usual and
Customary allowances for your area, after a $50.00 deductible
per claim, up to the maximum stated
benefits.
This
plan makes it possible to offer exceptional, low-cost protection with assurance
to parents that adequate
coverage is in force for all chartered and
insured Little League approved programs and events.
If
your child sustains a covered injury while taking part in a scheduled Little
League Baseball or Softball
game or practice, here is how the insurance
works:
1. The Little League Baseball accident notification
form should be completed by parents (if the claimant
is under 19 years of age) and a league
official and forwarded directly to Little League Headquarters
within 20 days after the accident. A
photocopy of the form should be made and kept by the
parent/claimant. Initial medical/dental treatment must
be rendered within 30 days of the Little League
accident.
2.
Itemized bills, including description of service, date of service, procedure
and diagnosis codes for
medical services/supplies and/or other
documentation related to a claim for benefits are to be provided
within 90 days after the accident. In no
event shall such proof be furnished later than 15 months from
the date the initial medical expense was
incurred.
3.
When other insurance is present, parents or claimant must forward copies of the
Explanation of
Benefits
or Notice/Letter of Denial for each charge directly to Little League
Headquarters, even if the
charges do not exceed the deductible of the
primary insurance program.
4.
Policy provides benefits for eligible medical expenses incurred within 52 weeks
of the accident,
subject to Excess Coverage and Exclusion
provisions of the plan.
5.
Limited deferred
medical/dental benefits may be available for necessary treatment after the
52-week
time limit when:
(a)
Deferred medical benefits apply when necessary treatment requiring the removal
of a pin /plate,
applied to transfix a bone in the year of
injury, or scar tissue removal, after the 52-week time limit is
required. The Company will pay the Reasonable
Expense incurred, subject to the Policy’s maximum
limit of $100,000 for any one injury to any
one Insured. However, in no event will any benefit be paid
under this provision for any expenses
incurred more than 24 months from the date the injury was
sustained.
(b)
If the Insured incurs Injury, to sound, natural teeth and Necessary Treatment
requires treatment for
that Injury be postponed to a date more
than 52 weeks after the injury due to, but not limited to, the
physiological changes of a growing child, the
Company will pay the lesser of: 1. A maximum of
$1,500 or 2. Reasonable Expenses incurred for the
deferred dental treatment.
Reasonable
Expenses incurred for deferred dental treatment are only covered if they are
incurred on or
before the Insured’s 23rd
birthday.
Reasonable Expenses for deferred root canal therapy are covered
only if treatment is incurred within 24
months after the date the Injury is sustained.
No
payment will be made for deferred treatment unless the Physicians submits
written certification,
within 52 weeks after the accident, that the
treatment must be postponed for the above stated reasons.
Benefits
are payable subject to the Excess Coverage and the Exclusions provisions of the
Policy.
We
hope this brief summary has been helpful in a better understanding of an
important aspect of the
operation of the Little League endorsed insurance program.
