NCAA Post-Eligibility Insurance Update (NEW August 2024)
The NCAA sponsors a Post-Eligibility Insurance Program that will begin Aug. 1, 2024. The program is a way the NCAA can support student-athletes beyond their playing days. It was announced by the Board of Governors in 2023 as part of the effort to modernize NCAA rules and support student-athletes. The program will be available to all student-athletes at all schools in all divisions.
For up to two years (104 weeks) after student-athletes separate from school or voluntarily withdraw from athletics, the program will cover accident medical expenses for athletically related injuries sustained during participation in a qualifying intercollegiate sport, including NCAA emerging sports. For purposes of the benefit period, “voluntarily withdraw” means submission of a formal voluntary withdrawal form from the student-athlete with no intent to transfer to and resume intercollegiate sport/activities at another school.
The program will provide excess accident medical coverage for properly documented injuries that occur on or after Aug. 1. The coverage provides benefits in excess of any other valid and collectible insurance. The policy will have a $90,000 excess limit per injury, with no deductible. Of the $90,000 available, up to $25,000 will be available for mental health services related to an eligible, documented athletic injury.
