Guide For Student-athletes

ATHLETIC INJURIES • All injuries must be reported to the coach and athletic trainer immediately! Student-athletes must have their current primary insurance card available and all insurance information must be on file at the Campus Wellness and Health Center and Athletic Training Clinic.

• The athletic trainer will complete the “Injury Report” form that states the date, description of the injury, practice or game, and treatment.

This is kept in the student-athlete’s athletic medical file.

• The student-athlete (not the doctor or hospital) must submit a fully completed secondary intercollegiate athletic claim form within 90 days of an accident. Only one form is needed for each athletic injury. This form is to be filled out by the student-athlete with assistance from the athletic trainer within 72 hours after injury.

• The intercollegiate athletic insurance claim form must be signed by an authorized athletic administrator. The form will then be sent to the Claims Administrator.

• The student-athlete must submit subsequent bills (EOB’s) within 90 days of the date of service and should clearly indicate athlete’s name, name of college, and diagnosis. All bills must be ITEMIZED (EOB’s) as claims cannot be processed from balance due statements. Studentathletes must submit paperwork to athletic administrator in a timely manner.

• Please keep a copy of the secondary insurance claim form, all bills, and primary insurance explanations of benefits forms for your records.

• Athletic department insurance representatives are Athletic Trainer Linda Kaminskis and Asst.

Athletic Director Gary Chupp

MEDICAL PROTOCOL Each year, each student-athlete must have an athletic pre-participation exam (PPE) form on file in the Wellness and athletic training centers and an insurance form on file prior to participation in intercollegiate athletics.

Student-athletes are encouraged to get their PPE done within their network health care provider on the GC PPE form.

Returning athletes may wait until their return to campus and have the PPE done at the Goshen Family Physicians clinic.

All first year and transfers must have on file with the GC Wellness and Health clinic the following forms: Confidential health form with immunization record, Proof of insurance coverage or Student Health Insurance enrollment form. ALL Student-athletes MUST have: Pre-Athletics participation form, Student-athlete information form, insurance information, HIPAA authorization form, medical policy acknowledgement form, asthma action sheet, and training room information sheet.

These forms must be completed before the first day of practice and will affect your eligibility for competition.

Returning Student-athletes are required to have a yearly athletic physical. Your team has a timed scheduled during the first week of camp (fall athlete). For more information please contact your specific coach.

Student-athletes must carry a Primary Insurance plan to attend Goshen College. The Athletic Department carries a Secondary Insurance policy for its student-athletes which covers services their primary coverage does not. This policy covers injuries sustained during sanctioned practices or intercollegiate athletic participation only.

GC SPORTS MEDICINE Program Goal: to provide a link between the athletic program and the medical community for the implementation of injury prevention, emergency care, and rehabilitation procedures.

No one healthcare professional has sufficient knowledge to handle all needs that arise: it takes a team approach.

At Goshen College this team includes a state licensed, NATABOC certified athletic trainer, team physician, a network of orthopedic surgeons, family practitioners, sports psychologist, and a student athletic training staff.

Goshen College is fortunate as to be located across the street from Goshen General Hospital and is located close to several medical professional practices.

INSURANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR INJURIES To avoid processing delays, please follow all instructions: 1. Carry your insurance card (info) at all times.

2. You MUST REPORT your injury to your coach and athletic trainer within 72 hours.

3. Pick-up athletic-injury claim form from Athletic Trainer or coach if traveling.

4. Follow All Instructions On Back Of Claim Form.
