Athlete Medical Clearance Requirements

Requirements are due by July 15th

Please note that our requirements are in addition to and separate from the University Health Services portal requirements.  Failure to complete both sets of requirements will result in loss of participation.  Once all of these documents have been submitted, the athletic training staff will review and contact you if something is incomplete or missing.
 

New Athletes -Transfers/Freshman Forms

• Physical Form & Health History - NCAA requires physicals be completed no more than 6 months from start of participation.
• Sickle Cell Trait Testing Requirement
• Current active Primary Insurance – a picture of the front and back of your active insurance card is required to participate.

You will need clear pictures in jpg form of these documents to upload into the ATS student athlete portal.  Check your Jefferson email for instructions from Erin Fidler about creating your ATS student-athlete portal.
 

International Student-Athlete Primary Insurance Plan Options

Primary insurance accepted in the United States is also required for all international students. The following websites are from carriers that offer health insurance coverage which will meet the minimal standards in the event of a collegiate athletic injury. Please confirm the policy you chose will cover collegiate sports injuries by reviewing the policy information before purchasing. You can get quotes from each and decide which is best for you.

• www.internationalstudentinsurance.com/student-health-insurance - We recommend the “Select” or “Elite” options. The “Smart” option does not meet minimal coverage standards.
• International Student Medical Insurance Plans - IMG (imglobal.com) –  The Student Health Advantage Plan covers collegiate sports injuries.
• Quote Estimator (hccmis.com) – (Tokiyo Marine) You must add on the Collegiate Sports Coverage Rider to this plan to cover any sports injuries.

 

Returning Athletes

Health History, Primary Insurance, and waivers must be updated each year before returning to campus.
Please check your Jeff email for information regarding updating your ATS athlete portal and TeamWorks info.
