Personal Insurance Option

Personal Insurance Option As stated in Wingate University’s policy all student-athletes are required to have and maintain personal insurance that meets the Affordable Care Act insurance requirements as well as covers injuries that may occur during scheduled athletic competitions and practices. No student-athlete will be allowed to compete or practice until proof of adequate insurance coverage is provided. This verification process will take place through our insurance provider, AIG. While it is our hope that no athlete will become injured, we recognize that will happen. It is, therefore, our commitment of our athletic training staff and coaches to care and treat injuries in a competent and professional manner. Effective treatment cannot be provided without adequate insurance coverage. Wingate University provides an athletic insurance option for families that may lack adequate coverage. This policy is available through AIG, who also provides our supplemental secondary coverage for our student athletes. Should you wish to explore information about this option we can provide you the necessary avenues to investigate if this is worthwhile for you. Should you decide to use this option the premium, that is to be determined, can be applied to the student-athlete’s tuition account. Coverage effective dates can begin immediately if you decide on this option. You may look elsewhere if you desire but the policy must meet Wingate University’s Insurance Guidelines. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Insurance Coordinator, Kristina Lazicki. She can be reached by telephone at 704-233-8350 or email at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Tim Singleton MS, LAT, ATC Director of Sports Medicine Wingate University
