Insurance coverage is now available to cover medical expenses associated
with accidental injuries to official volunteers doing work for the U of A.
This coverage is in excess of any other available health insurance and is
automatic while the volunteer is engaged in covered activities. There is no
cost to the volunteers at this time and will cover up to $25,000 of medical
expenses. To ensure program eligibility for University volunteers, there
must be documentation of volunteer's relationship with the U of A that
describes the scope of their service, expected duration and how their
volunteer activities will be directed and supervised. Volunteers must be
engaged in authorized activities at the time of injury to be eligible for
coverage. More details and claim forms are available on the Risk
Management website at http://fp.arizona.edu/riskmgmt/
