The student accident policy is not a health insurance plan. It is a supplemental policy that only covers injuries that result from an accident while performing required academic activities, and it coordinates the payments made from your health insurance.
If you sustain an injury as a result of a required academic activity, you must submit a claim under the student accident policy. To file a claim, you will need to complete a student accident claim form making sure to provide information about your health insurance. Claim forms that are missing information will delay the claim process. If necessary, A-G Administrators, Inc. will write to you directly to request additional confidential health information.
The claim form must be submitted within 30 days of the injury date. All claim forms must be submitted via mail or fax directly to A-G Administratots, Inc. Claims department and a copy must be mailed or faxed to the Temple University Benefits office.
Note: For Accidents Incurred Between September 1, 2010 to July 31, 2011 you must file a claim with Klais and Company, Inc. Claims forms must be submitted via mail or fax directly to Klais and Company, Inc. at (330) 867-0827.
