Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) | Point Park University | Pittsburgh, PA
SECONDARY INSURANCE POLICY
Point Park University has a secondary "Excess" accident insurance policy for all student-athletes that are on an athletics roster with BMI Benefits.
Q. What is “excess insurance” and why does the school have a policy?
The school purchases a policy with BMI Benefits to help cover accident-related medical expenses. The concept of the policy is to prevent students from incurring excessive expenses due to related accidents and injuries. An “excess” policy covers expenses that the student would otherwise be responsible for in the absence of this policy - i.e., co-pays, deductibles, and other amounts denied by primary insurance and shown as the patient responsibility on the primary Explanation of Benefits (EOB).
Q. What expenses does the Excess Accident Insurance policy cover?
The policy is designed to cover most expenses beyond your primary insurance coverage for student-athlete related accidents and injuries, up to charges of 100% usual & customary. This includes amounts shown as the patient responsibility on the primary insurance EOB: co-pays, co-insurance, etc. The PPU policy has a $1,000 per injury deductible. This deductible is a coordinating/disappearing deductible, which means it can be met or satisfied by primary insurance payments on a covered injury/accident. If you do not have primary insurance or primary insurance pays zero on your covered accident, the athlete could be responsible for up to the $1,000 deductible per injury.
Q. I just got what looks like a medical bill statement in the mail. What should I do?
If the bill is related to a student-athlete injury, please call the billing department phone number on the statement. The reason you are most likely receiving the bill is because the provider does not have BMI Benefits secondary insurance information on the account. Inform the billing department that there is secondary insurance, and they have to send BMI Benefits a copy of the claim and primary EOB.
It is the student-athletes’ responsibility to ensure their insurance (SHIP or personal insurance) meets ALL the waiver requirements. (If you are competing at the collegiate level, you must ensure your insurance plan covers sports related injuries)
If you have questions about insurance, please refer to the contact details on the Point Park University SHIP webpage (linked above).
