Protect your kids and your finances
Each year, many families spend thousands of dollars when their children are injured at school, on field trips or at home. For pennies a day, this can all be avoided.
Peel District School Board (PDSB) does not provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries that occur on school property or during school activities—this includes extracurricular sports. If a student is injured, parents are responsible for any costs that are not covered by provincial health care or their employer's health care plan. Please check with your provider regarding your coverage. To help protect your family, PDSB has arranged to have student accident insurance available exclusively through Old Republic Insurance Company. Insuremykids® Student Accident Insurance offers three plans with a variety of benefits at affordable prices – their most affordable plan is available for as little as $17.00 per year for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The coverage can include:
- dental expenses, and future costs (resulting from an accident)
- total and permanent disability
- paralysis/loss of use of limbs
- special disability benefits
- ambulance fees
The provincial health care system does not cover costs which are commonly related to accidents including dental work, ambulance fees, casts and crutches, and physiotherapy. All of these are covered by Old Republic’s student accident insurance plan.
It is strongly recommended that all families consider this coverage, especially if your child participates in extracurricular activities. Protect your kids and your finances. If you are using another student accident insurance provider, please ensure dental care and future dental care costs with adequate limits are included in your coverage, as dental accidents are common injuries.
The insurance agreement is between You and Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada. You can apply for coverage online at www.insuremykids.com. For more information call Old Republic Insurance Company toll free at 1-800-463-5437.
