Claiming insurance for injuries during sch activities

[corneyAmber]

Just sharing my personal experience.


When my elder boy was in P6, he injured his left index finger during CCA. There was no blood, but he was in great pain. Suspected fracture.

The school called me and I rushed down, and found him surrounded by caring teachers and office staff in the sick bay.

I rushed him to the A&E and they did an x-tray. There was no fracture, but to be on the safe side, they decided to refer him to an Orthopaedic for a thorough check-up. Turned out that it was a bad sprain and the finger was a bit twisted. And for weeks, he had a navy blue bandage that made the injured finger stood up like a sore thumb, though it was the index finger and not the thumb!

Gave all the receipts, yes, receipts from A&E, x-tray department, Orthopaedic and follow-up appointments etc to the School's Admin Manager, filled up some forms and the entire amount was reimbursed within weeks.

Would be good to get a written report from the doctor… I asked for one from the dentist when my DS was injured and got a very detailed one, thus saving us the trouble to write one… …

Yes, that's a very good idea. Forgot whether I did submit a report, after all, it's been so many years.

I submitted the claim form 2 weeks ago, since waiting for reply. They do not allow double claiming. The claim form, which is tedious to fill up, must be submitted within 1 mth from date of medical bill. If there is more than one medical consultation, then just submit all the bills together with the claim form.

hi parents,


I am not sure where to post my qn and since it is related to injury in sch so I am trying my luck here. Hope some parents can advice me. Tks.

My girl hurt her shoulder during pe (wushu activity). It has been more than a month and she complained last night that the shoulder still hurt when she moved it. Where should I bring her to consult doctor? Go to GP first and if serious then get referral letter ?

Any parents can advice me? Thank you.

Hi pandan, you can bring her to the GP first, he can decide whether to refer to specialist. I think you can also claim for injury, since it happened during sch activity.
