The concept of Risk Control is comprised of two parts:

1) Loss Prevention
2) Loss Control

Loss Prevention is defined as the employment of mechanisms in an effort to prevent losses before they arise and can cause any damage. It is important to note however, that not every loss can be prevented, and therefore, mechanisms must be employed to mitigate the severity of those losses which could not be prevented. Some exposures to loss are simply not insurable; not all losses, even when covered, may be fully insured; and even when fully insured, loss experience will ultimately result in increased insurance premiums.

As such, it is better to try and avoid losses altogether, thus the need for effective risk control.

In an effort to assist all locations within the Diocese with risk control and management, the Office of Insurance offers a wide array of resources on several common areas of loss, which we hope will ultimately enhance overall risk prevention and management for all:

Claims related to Student Accident Insurance should be filed through its program administrator, Bollinger Insurance, and not through Sphere Risk Partners.

Student Accident Insurance coverage is purchased by every school in the Diocese for each enrolled student.

The plan is underwritten by Zurich American Insurance Company and is administered by Bollinger Insurance. The plan in effect provides coverage on an excess basis only, thus only those medical expenses which are NOT payable by your own personal or group insurance are eligible for coverage under this policy up to the limits.

Some important reminders when filing a claim:

• The school official has completed his/her section of the claim form.
•  You have completed and signed the Parentʼs Statement and Medical Authorization.
• The Statement of Other Insurance section must be fully completed*.
