Spot provides injury insurance to cover you while you're skiing or snowboarding–whether you're professionally instructing or not. Spot has no deductible and works with or without health insurance. For injuries big and small, Spot’s got your back.
For just a one time payment of $50, you can purchase Spot for the 20/21 season. If you get injured in an accident while skiing or snowboarding, whether you're on the job or off, your Spot policy can reimburse you for your medical bills.
If you get hurt, seek treatment with any licensed physician convenient to you. Your Spot policy reimburses you for doctor-recommended medical costs up to $20,000—each time you are accidentally injured.
Submit your claim through the Spot website. You'll be assigned a claims representative that will be dedicated to your case and work to get you reimbursed as quickly as possible.

Spot's plan covers costs from your doctor-recommended treatment plan up to $20,000 for any covered physical injury as long as its carried out by a licensed physician. Your treatment plan could include diagnostic scans, hospital stays, ER visits, surgeries, and emergency transportation. Basically, anything your licensed physician recommends that you need to recover from your accident. Unfortunately, your spiritual healer’s plan is on you.
No, Spot is not health insurance. Spot's plan provides coverage for reimbursement of medical bills incurred for injuries stemming from accidents. As much as we’d like to help you with your stomach flu (drink plenty of fluids!), that's just not our thing. General illness, pre-existing conditions, and chronic sickness are not included in your policy coverage. When you go to the doctor for treatment, use your health insurance (if you have it) and settle your bill. Then, file a claim with Spot by providing us with pertinent information (like documentation from the doctor) and we’ll get to work on reimbursing you.
Each accident you have is eligible for reimbursement up to $20,000. This means if you need stitches and an MRI after a ski accident one day, you’re covered for up to $20,000 for that. If you fall off a chairlift the next week, you’re covered for up to $20,000 for that as well. We really hope that never happens to you but we’ve got your back regardless, even if it’s broken.
No, you're covered whenever skiing or snowboarding (backcountry included!) anywhere in the U.S. whether you are professionally instructing or not.
