Why Do I NeedInsurance For My Child?

Government health care plans and group insurance plans often provide limited coverage for accident expenses. Sometimes, expenses are not covered at all! This means that you, the parent/guardian, are left financially responsible. Luckily, Student Accident Insurance is here to help – our plans are designed to fill in the gaps left by other insurance providers.

What expenses are NOT normally covered?

Government health and group insurance plans often do not provide coverage for the following:

  • Ambulance fees
  • Casts, crutches, and splints
  • The cost of equipment or supplies needed for home use
  • Out-of-province emergency medical care
  • Various emergency dental and eye care services
Even small accidents can come with big bills!

Take a look at the scenarios below to see how much money some accidents can cost and how Student Accident Insurance can help!
