Post-Eligibility Insurance Program
Excess accident medical coverage will be available for properly documented athletic injuries occurring on or after Aug. 1.
Why it matters: This program is a way the NCAA can support student-athletes beyond their playing days.
What do I need to know right now?
- For up to two years (104 weeks) after student-athletes separate from school or voluntarily withdraw from athletics, the program will cover up to $90,000 of medical expenses for athletically related injuries sustained during participation in a qualifying intercollegiate sport, including NCAA emerging sports.
- Injury documentation is required for a post-eligibility insurance claim, so schools should retain injury documentation for the duration of the 104-week benefit period, plus an additional year.
How and when do we enroll student-athletes? You don’t! No action is needed to enroll student-athletes in the program. Student-athletes are automatically covered under the policy for those qualifying intercollegiate athletics injuries that meet both of the following conditions:
- Occur during the policy period (on or after Aug. 1, 2024).
- Are documented and on file with the school’s athletics department.
