What Parents Should Know About Little League Insurance

Warning: Protective equipment cannot prevent all injuries a player might receive while participating in Baseball/Softball.

The Little League Insurance program is designed to afford protection to all participants at the most economical cost to the local league.  It can be used to supplement other insurance carried under a family policy or provided by parent's employer.  If there is no coverage, Little League insurance, which is purchased by the league, not the parent, takes over and provides benefits for all covered injury treatment costs up to the maximum stated benefits.

This plan makes it possible for Little League to offer unmatched, low-cost protection with assurance to parents that adequate coverage is in force at all times during the season.

If your child sustains a covered injury while taking part in Little League Baseball or Softball, here is how the insurance works:
  1. File a claim, initially under insurance carried by the family: Blue Cross/Blue Shield or any other insurance protection available.
  2. Should your family insurance plan not fully cover the injury treatment, the Little League Insurance Policy will help pay the difference up to the maximum stated benefits for all covered injury treatment cost up to the maximum benefits of the policy.
  3. Treatment of dental injuries can extend beyond the normal 52 week period if dental work must be delayed due to physiological changes of a growing child.  Benefits will pay at time treatment is given, even though it may be some years later.  Maximum dollar benefit is $500 for eligible deferred dental treatment after the normal 52 week period.
We hope this brief summary has been helpful in better understanding of an important aspect of the operation of the Little League Insurance program.
