Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball and other Teams & Leagues
~What is it?
 Nationwide's GrouProtector Insurance is a highly practical insurance plan that provides greater peace-of-mind to players and other individuals associated with amateur sports teams and leagues. It gives all eligible persons the security they need and deserve.
Individual names are not required as 100% of all eligible players are insured. Each player is protected - as wall as the group itself - because all eligible persons are automatically covered.
Voluntary enrollment plans are not available.
~What are the covered activities?
- A scheduled, approved and supervised team or league activity. These include practice sessions or games of the sport involved, trips or tours, fundraising drives, parades, picnics, concession stand operation and care of the playing court or field
- A team or league sponsored and/or endorsed clinic or all-star practice session or game.
- Direct travel to or from the meeting place to take part in any such practice session, game or clinic.
~Who is covered?
Premium automatically includes coverage for the following:
- Players, managers, coaches, cheerleaders and officers
- Persons specifically designated by one of your officers to assist without pay in an assigned team or league volunteer duty to be conducted during a given period of time
- If all teams of a league are insured under the policy, the league umpires, referees, official scorers and timers, player agents and safety officers.
~What is the difference between our Primary medical and Excess medical plans?
- Our Primary Plan is usually "first in line" to pay a claim. It pays covered expenses regardless of most other plans.
Other plans, however, may reduce their payments based on what we pay.
- Our Excess Plan is usually "last in line" to pay a claim. It does not pay covered expenses to the extent they are collectible under most other plans. Thus, we need to know what others pay before we will pay. If there is no coverage, we will pay the same as primary.
Excess essentially "fills in" other plans' deductibles and coinsurance as well as pays remaining covered expenses after others have exhausted their benefits . If our excess plan has a deductible, it is "out-of-pocket" and cannot be satisfied by other plans.
~What are the policy exclusions and limitations?
We will not pay benefits for expenses incurred for: (1) the examination, prescription, purchase or fitting of eye-glasses, contact lenses or hearing aids; or (2) treatment by a person employed or retained by the plan sponsor or its subsidiaries or affiliates and for which no charge is normally made; or (3) care or treatment by a person who ordinarily lives in the insured's home or is a parent, grandparent, spouse, brother, sister or child of either the insured or the insured's spouse; (4) diathermy, light, shortwave, and other heat or physiotherapy treatments in excess of the first five of all such treatment while the insured is neither hospital confined nor under the care of a home health care agency. Nor will we pay benefits for loss or expenses resulting from: (5) intentional self-destruction or an attempt at it or intentional self-inflicted injury; (6) war or an act of war, declared or undeclared; or (7) air travel unless the insured is a passenger on a regularly scheduled flight of a properly licensed commercial airline.
