Step 5: Policy Details
You will notice Coverage Limits broken down into 3 categories: Accident Medical , General Liability and Abuse & Molestation Coverage. This is our starting coverage package for all groups. As you proceed in filling out the information requested in this section, (e.g. number of participants, different types of activities your group will participate in, and any extra coverage you may need) these limits will adjust accordingly and the plan overview will reflect these changes of your total premium cost.
- Policy Effective Dates - If this is your first time purchasing insurance, your coverage can begin immediately! Or, you may select an alternate date up to 90 days in advance. All policies are for a full 12 months from the start date.
