Who is covered?
Most health insurance plans cover accidental injuries, including those sustained while skateboarding. This includes injuries that occur during recreational activities, such as skateboarding in a park or on the street. However, there may be some exclusions for injuries that occur while participating in extreme sports or activities that are considered to be high-risk.
For example, some plans may not cover injuries that occur while skateboarding in a skatepark or while performing stunts. If you are unsure whether your health insurance plan covers skateboarding injuries, you should contact your insurer to confirm.

What is covered?
Health insurance plans typically cover the costs of medical treatment for injuries, including emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation. The specific benefits that are covered will vary depending on your plan, but most plans will cover at least some of the costs of treating skateboarding injuries.

How to file a claim

If you are injured while skateboarding, you should file a claim with your health insurance company as soon as possible. You will need to provide your insurer with information about the accident, including the date and time of the accident, the location of the accident, and the nature of your injuries. You will also need to provide your insurer with a copy of your medical bills.

Your insurer will review your claim and determine whether it is covered under your plan. If your claim is approved, your insurer will pay the benefits that are covered under your plan. In most cases, you will be responsible for paying the deductible and copayments that are associated with your plan.

What to do if your claim is denied
If your health insurance claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. You should contact your insurer to request an appeal. The insurer will review your appeal and make a final decision. If your appeal is denied, you may have the right to file a complaint with your state insurance commissioner.
