What medical costs does the Athletic Association pay for student-athletes?
We are bound by NCAA rules and our Sports Medicince staff has outlined the payment policies in a handy brochure. It is being posted to the website soon or you can request a printed brochure from our Director of Sports Medicine, Ron Courson, via e-mail at rcourson@sports.uga.edu. The rule of thumb is that the Athletic Association pays for treatment of athletic injuries and files insurance first with the student’s primary family insurance and then makes up the difference for any unpaid balance with our own secondary insurance. The Athletic Association also pays the deductible if it has not already been met.
