Here's how it works:
Kathy’s daughter, Molly, plays soccer. During a recent game, Molly collided with an opposing player, was knocked unconscious and taken to the local emergency room (ER) by ambulance for treatment. The ER doctor diagnosed a concussion and a broken tooth. He also ordered a CT scan. After thorough evaluation, Molly was released to her primary care physician for follow-up treatment, and her dentist repaired her broken tooth with a crown. Luckily Kathy has accident insurance!
