Physical It is required that all student-athletes receive and pass a physical screening prior to practice or competition. All student-athletes new to the institution must receive an on campus screening and be cleared for participation by OC team physician(s) or from an off campus physician (MD, DO). A physical by a Chiropractor is not acceptable. A student-athlete may be recruited, but may not be granted medical clearance. The OC team physician(s) or an off campus must clear all incoming student-athletes, regardless of recruiting status. The purpose of the pre-season screening is to ensure the safe participation of the student-athletes as well as to reduce the risk to the department with regards to both insurance and liability. Coaches who knowingly allow a student-athlete to participate without proper medical clearance are putting themselves, the student-athlete, and the athletics department at risk. PAPERWORK MUST BE SUBMITTED DURING BUSINESS HOURS (9:30 am-5:30 pm on Monday/Wednesday, 10 am- 6 pm on Tuesday/Thursday/Friday)
Insurance The athletic department has contracts with an independent insuring agency (Student Insurance) to provide medical coverage for student-athletes. This coverage is an excess or secondary coverage. Insurance provided by the student-athlete’s parents, spouse, or employer will be used as the primary coverage. In a situation in which a student-athlete has no medical insurance through a parent, spouse, or employer, the insurance provided through the athletic department will become primary.
