STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
The Pinellas County School Board does not provide medical insurance coverage for students or visitors. Personal insurance carriers usually provide such coverage.
|
The school district has, however, selected The Student Insurance Plan to make affordable coverage available to parents. If you don't have other insurance, this plan may be a resource to consider. Additionally, even if you have other coverage, this plan can help fill expensive "gaps" caused by deductibles and co-pays. The Student Insurance Plan does not contain a deductible provision.
Coverage may be purchased at any time during the school year by visiting the Student Insurance Website. The Student Insurance address is: UnitedHealthcare StudentResources, 805 Executive Center Drive West Suite 220, St. Petersburg, FL 33702. The telephone numbers are 866-409-5734 (Headquarters) and 888-282-5957 (Local Office).
