LIFE AFTER YOUR ATHLETIC TRAINER

STOCK YOUR OWN MEDICINE CABINET

The athletic training room has provided:

Band-Aids Antibiotic ointment Anti-inflammatories (Advil or Aleve) Antacids Gauze Ace wraps, etc.

Currently, there is daily access to primary care and orthopedic physicians.

Wait times are minimal and your athletic trainer has facilitated many of these appointments. This will be much different post student-athlete status.

Physician appointments and diagnostic testing may take days or weeks to schedule.

Based on insurance coverage certain steps must be followed to maximize insurance payment.

You will have an opportunity to select insurance coverage offered by your employer.

Before you have any appointments scheduled or tests done, ASK QUESTIONS to understand the billing process and what your financial responsibility is.
