Physicals 

All student athletes must have a current sports physical on file in Health Services and that physical must have been conducted within six months of the start of your athletic season. You will not be able to participate without a sports physical.

To avoid issues with a physical expiring mid-season, the ideal time for student-athletes to have their physical is between May 15 and August 15. Physicals may be conducted on campus by Health Services. Student-athletes are responsible for scheduling on-campus physicals and pay a $40 physical fee. Please note that in the first few weeks of the semester, it may be more difficult to get a timely appointment. 

The following will be accepted as documentation of a physical by Athletic Training.

  • The provided sports physical form from Front Rush
  • The Health Services sports physical form

Insurance

Student-athletes must be insured through:

  • Their parent/guardians health insurance
  • Their own health insurance
  • The purchase of the college health insurance

Proof of insurance, including a copy of their card must be provided to the athletic department prior to the first day of practices. A Statement of Insurance Form will be provided in the Front Rush paperwork. This is in addition to the waiver that must be completed to remove the college insurance from the students bill. More information about the college insurance is available from the Health Center. The college health policy does not cover injuries sustained while participating in athletics.

The Department of Athletics carries an accident policy for student-athletes. Student-athletes will be charged this policy. Billing will occur when the roster for the team is finalized. Should a student-athlete participate on more than one athletic team during the academic year, they will only be billed once. This is a mandatory fee. In the event of an injury, the student-athletes primary insurance is billed first. The accident policy will cover any unpaid portion of medical bills, including deductibles, for any injury sustained while participating in college athletics at SUNY Delhi up to $1,000,000 less a $100 deductible. Please direct all questions about the athletic accident insurance to the athletic trainer.

"I have an injury. How do I get my bills paid?"

  • Step 1 - After notifying the athletic trainer and/or your coach of your , go get the care you need. The physician's office/emergency room should bill your primary insurance.
  • Step 2 - If you have not yet notified the athletic trainer of your injury, do so at this time. The athletic trainer will complete a claim form which you must sign.
  • Step 3 - When you receive bills for the care related to your injury, forward them as soon as possible to the athletic trainer. The athletic trainer will then submit them on your behalf along with your claim form. Bills must be submitted within 90 days. 

There is a $100 deductible. Once bills have been paid by your insurance company, you will receive a bill from your physician for the remaining $100. You are responsible for paying this amount.
