If an injury occurs while competing, seek assistance from the appropriate facility supervisor or field manager. If EMS is needed, notify the appropriate authorities.
University of Texas policy requires that all Sport Club members who travel on behalf of the University must be covered by a medical insurance policy. For this reason, those Club members who have indicated that they are not currently covered by a medical insurance policy in their Membership Packet and/or DO NOT have a copy of their medical insurance card on file in the Sport Club Office will have short term insurance purchased for them by the Sport Club Office. The charge for this short-term coverage is $5 per day per person. This insurance will be covered by UT RecSports.
$300.00 deductible with 80% coverage of allowable charges in network and 60%coverage of allowable charges out of network after the deductible is met, with a maximum benefit of $500,000.00. *Eligible participants are covered ONLY for travel to and from the competition site. *This policy DOES NOT cover injuries sustained while competing.
Coverage will only be provided for the days you are on the specific trip for which the Insurance has been purchased. In the event of an emergency requiring medical attention during authorized club travel for club members covered by the short term insurance, the Sport Club Staff should be notified for the University of Texas System Special Events Policy Number. Note the following if this were to occur. Expenses incurred for “Medical Emergency” will be paid only for sickness or injury that fulfills the above conditions. These expenses will not be paid for minor injuries or sicknesses.
