All student athletes need to have their own primary insurance in their own name, through
parent/guardian or be self-insured. Athletes must show proof of insurance at the beginning of each
school year in order to be eligible for participation.
All medical expenses for injuries sustained while participating in an athletic event at FSCC must first be
submitted to athlete’s primary insurance carrier.
The FSCC Athletic Department purchases a medical insurance policy which may cover some expenses
not covered by your primary insurance policy. Claims submitted by FSCC to this policy must be
accompanied by proof of payment or denial from your primary insurance carrier.
The FSCC Athletic Trainer and/or Team Physician(s) will arrange for all medical treatments and services
required for any athletic injury except during a medical emergency on the road or at practice and when
no athletic trainer is present. Medical expenses incurred by a student athlete for medical treatment
and services obtain without prior authorization of FSCC’s Head Athletic Trainer and/or Team
Physician(s) will be the sole responsibility of the student athlete and/or his parent(s)/guardian(s).
The athletes and/or their parent(s)/guardian(s) will be responsible for the payment of medical services
regarding:
o Pre-existing and congenital medical conditions,
o Non-athletic related injuries,
o Illness (colds, flu, etc.),
o Medical conditions not related to participation in FSCC Athletics,
o Medical expenses for athletic injury if the referral was not authorized by the Head Athletic
Trainer or Team Physician(s), or
o Medications for any non-athletic injury.
All arrangements for the treatment of athletic injures must be made before the student athlete
graduates or withdraws from FSCC. Responsibility for any medical expenses will not be accepted by
FSCC or FSCC’s insurance representative after a period of one year following the date of injury.
All insurance information, history and physical must be received by the Athletic Trainer before athletes are
allowed to participate at Fort Scott Community College.
