Fort Scott Community College suggests that all student athletes carry their own primary insurance coverage to minimize any costs which may be the responsibility of the student athlete. FSCC insurance benefits are not primary insurance coverage. Student athletes may be responsible for the payment of any costs of treatment that exceeds reasonable and customary charges.

Please check one: I DO I DO NOT - have primary insurance coverage

You should also be aware that the college-paid insurance on student athletes pays only for accidents which occur during a supervised game or practice and only as a secondary payor, meaning that your insurance pays first, and the college athletic insurance pays the reasonable and customary remainder of the claim total not paid by your insurance company after proper documentation. In the case of an illness or non-athletic related injury, any costs related to the treatment of you or your son or daughter will be your responsibility.

Release of Responsibility:

I understand that bills which may result from medical care deemed necessary for athletic injuries will be filed with my family or my primary policy first. Remaining balances will then be filed with the athletic accidental injury insurance purchased by the Fort Scott Community College Athletic Department. I also understand that it is my responsibility to forward all bills and insurance explanation of benefit (EOB) forms received by me to the Head Athletic Trainer at Fort Scott Community College. We acknowledge that Fort Scott Community College and the Athletics Department insurance are not responsible for care provided for pre-existing injuries, injuries incurred while not participating in intercollegiate athletics, or for medical treatment for conditions considered to be congenital or hereditary in nature.

I authorize that FSCC and its insurance agent pay the medical vendors direct for any bills incurred from accidents that are covered under the coverage purchased by the college. I am of majority age (18 years or older) and am granting authorization for emergency medical treatment of my own accord. I understand that I will be held responsible for all medical treatment costs associated when any non-game or non-practice related injuries may incur
