STUDENT & INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC
ACCIDENT INSURANCE PLAN
Be aware that the
Shasta College Student Health & Wellness Office is not
authorized to guarantee payment of claims. All claims
are subject to review by Student Insurance and Blue Cross of
California.
The role of
the Student Health & Wellness Office is limited to
facilitating the completion of student accident reports
and / or insurance claims.
We are located on the first floor of the Student Center,
in the Student Health & Wellness Office, Room 2020
(530) 242-7580
Student accident insurance is
provided by
Shasta-Tehama Joint Community College District to enrolled and
registered students in the event of an accident or injury during
college-sponsored and supervised activities. It may help to
cover medical bills incurred by injured students and athletes.
There are benefit limitations and some exclusions in the policy,
so it is important to work with the Student Health & Wellness
Services staff to insure optimum coverage. Students enrolled and
registered in classes, at the time of injury, at Shasta College,
and children of enrolled and registered students using the
officially designated childcare facility on campus are covered
by the student accident insurance plan.
