Post-Eligibility Medical Care Program
The University of Washington Athletics Department will provide medical coverage for injuries sustained as a direct result of participation in official activities, but is limited to 4 years from the date of graduation or separation from the University, or when the athlete turns 26 (whichever occurs first) for conditions that occurred after July 1, 2015, but prior to July 1, 2024. For conditions that occurred after July 1, 2024, the coverage will be limited to 2 years. Coverage provided by ICA requires preauthorization prior to any services being rendered. Coverage will be limited to injuries sustained during official participation and documented in the student-athlete’s medical record. Coverage will exclude pre-existing injuries, illnesses, eating disorders, and mental health cases. Only those conditions occurring after July 1, 2015 and listed and reviewed during the Exit Physical will be eligible for the 4-year medical care and coverage, and only conditions after July 1, 2024 will be eligible for the 2-year medical care and coverage. If eligible, medical services for approved conditions will follow ICA departmental coverage procedures listed in the ICA Sports Medicine Policy & Procedure Manual and the student-athlete's primary health insurance plan will be billed first and ICA will act as a secondary insurer. ICA reserves the right to require care be rendered by UW Team Physicians. Benefits provided through NCAA Catastrophic Insurance Program are not subject to the 4-year care and coverage plan but are subject to limits outlined by the NCAA Catastrophic Insurance program.
