ANUFC Non-Members are insured for the first three weeks of their participation under the ANU Sport ‘Come and Try’ policy. Non-members will be uninsured thereafter. ANUFC members are insured under both ANU Sport’s and Capital Football’s insurance policies.
ANU Sport Coverage
How to Make a Claim
The injured player’s coach/manager needs to send an ANU Sport incident report form to Paul Hooper paul.hooper@anu-sport.com.au detailing the incident. The club will then receive a confirmation email from ANU Sport that the report was received, with an acknowledgement that it occurred during and ANUSRA sanctioned activity, and next steps.
The injured individual then needs to send a claim to Paul Hooper paul.hooper@anu-sport.com.au for first review:
- Claim form
- All medical invoices/receipts and medical report
- Any out-of-pocket expenses
ANU Sport will then forward the claim to the University Insurance Office on your behalf. The University Insurance Office handles these claims and is the liaison point with Chubb Insurance as it is the ANU group policy that ANU Sport is covered by.
What is included in the Claim?
The claim will be with the ANU’s Group Personal Accident and Sickness, policy number 01P0528644. The policy wording is available here.
- This policy includes coverage for medical expenses that do not attract a Medical rebate
- If an expense is claimable through medicare, and there is a gap left over, Chubb Insurance will not cover that gap due to government legislation.
- You have up to 12 months from the date of injury to lodge a claim
- The cover for non-Medicare medical expenses is 100% of expenses (after private health insurance benefit) incurred to a maximum of $20,000.
- Non-Medical Medicare Expenses include Private Hospital Accommodation, Ambulance Transport Cost, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Dental Services, Orthotics, Splints and Prosthesis
- An international student will usually not be eligible for Medicare, so they would claim through their overseas health cover first, and thereafter lodge the gap with Chubb to be assessed.
- There is a seperate heading called out of pocket expenses, which carries a maximum limit of $5,000. This includes expenses like medical aids, local transportation for purposes of seeking medical treatment and other non-medical equipment.
- Should any further medical expenses which are not claimable with Medicare, or not fully covered by a private health insurer be incurred, please forward these accounts (with the Health Fund Benefit Statement where applicable) for further consideration.
