Accident Medical Insurance Coverage for USA Softball Event Participants

Under the USA Softball Tournament/Clinic Accident Insurance Plan, coverage extends to covered injuries incurred by Tournament participants while practicing or playing in Tournament games. For Clinics, coverage applies to participants while taking part in clinic activities at the designated clinic site. There is no coverage for travel or off-premises activities under this plan.

This policy is written on an Excess basis, which means that the policy is secondary over any other valid and collectible insurance or healthcare plan that you may have. Thus, you need to submit your expenses to your own healthcare plan first, for this policy to consider your claim. If you have no other coverage in force, this policy will pay your claim as primary, subject to the deductible and other policy terms.

The policy only covers medical and dental expenses, which are incurred during the Benefit Period (within 52 weeks of the date of injury).
