Getting Started:
- Screenings have been scheduled for you and your teammates once you arrive on campus.
- In preparation for this screening you MUST complete a series of on-line documents prior to 7/30/2013.
- Below is a brief description of the documents you must complete.
- Read over each description, as well as the directions which follow, to ensure you complete all documents.
Document Descriptions:
Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE)- The student athlete is required to answer the survey questions with honesty and to their best ability in order to pass accurate information on to the UC medical staff. Submitting a complete and correct medical history will greatly ease the pre-season screening process when these questions are reviewed with your licensed athletic trainer. You will not be allowed to receive your pre-season screening without completing this survey, and all athletes must pass this screening before beginning sport participation.
On-Line Insurance Enrollment/Waiver - The injured student-athlete is sometimes referred by the Ursinus College Sports Medicine Team to outside medical facilities. In the event of referral to an outside facility your personal health insurance is used as primary payment, with Ursinus College providing a secondary insurance policy for official athletic injury cases. (Please Note; Detailed information on this secondary policy can be found at the bottom of this text section - SEE "Policy Statement For Athletic Insurance). To facilitate prompt care and effective communication with medical/insurance providers, you must complete the posted (enrollment/waiver) document providing information about your current personal health care plan.
- Student-athletes and their families are required to access this document as needed to update insurance information each and every time a change in coverage/policy occurs.
- Student-athletes are required to have their personal insurance card, or copy, on campus at all times.
- The student-athlete will be required to bring this card/copy with them to their team’s Pre-Season Athletic Physicals.
- The student-athlete should be prepared to produce this card as needed throughout the school year in order to facilitate referral for off-campus care.
