Student Medical Policies

• Pine Forge Academy does not carry medical insurance on its students; this is the responsibility of the parent(s) or guardian(s). However, it does carry accident insurance on all students during the school year, which will pay for accidents that occur on school property or school-sponsored activities. The parent/guardian's insurance will be used as the primary insurance, and the school's accident insurance will be secondary.
• Pine Forge Academy requires that all students have proof of medical insurance (coverage) at the time of registration, and that parents/guardians be prepared to assume the financial responsibility if the area's doctors or clinics refuse to accept their medical insurance. Students should submit proof of insurance coverage by July 31.
• The following documents are required by the state of Pennsylvania for admission to Pine Forge Academy: 
  • Immunization record
  • Physical examination (New and eleventh grade students)
  • Medical history
  • Dental examination
  • Medical consent and authorization form for emergency and/or hospitalization and
  • Sport physical examination (if your child plans to participate in sports requiring on/off campus games in church/school leagues).
• Prescription medications will be charged to student's account as well as any doctor's office visit (unless the doctor's office chooses to bill parent/guardian directly). Prescription receipts will be sent to parent/guardian for his/her records and/or prescription coverage, if applicable.
• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) should make financial arrangements prior to the student's medical and/or dental appointment. The parent/guardian must arrange with his/her insurance company for pre-authorization of medical and/or dental visit.
• If there is a medical emergency, the student will be transported promptly to the nearest medical facility and the parent/guardian will be notified. The parent/guardian is responsible for follow-up medical care.
