College athletics brims with competition and camaraderie. However, it also carries the risk of severe or catastrophic injuries. Whether from sudden accidents or health issues that develop over time, student-athletes often endure tough physical and psychological challenges. And when medical costs aren’t covered, athletes and their families face severe financial burdens, as seen in cases like Kyle Hardrick and Stanley Doughty. Both athletes faced high medical bills not covered by their schools or the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association).

Catastrophic insurance is a good way to guard against these inevitable scenarios. It protects student-athletes and offers peace of mind to their families and the institutions involved.

Of course, catastrophic accidents don’t just happen at NCAA member schools; student-athletes at NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) schools face them, too. But with fewer financial resources than their NCAA counterparts, who picks up the tab for these costly treatments? Are the families and students left to shoulder the burden?

As junior college athletic trainers, your role is pivotal in selecting the most reliable and effective insurance provider and policy. Your decision directly impacts the welfare and future of the young athletes under your care. A-G Specialty Insurance is a leading provider of catastrophic insurance, with customized solutions for student-athletes. Our comprehensive catastrophic injury insurance allows your athletes to focus on recovery and return to play without undue financial stress from an injury.

Why Your Athletic Program Needs Specialized Coverage

With over 1.3 million injuries reported among U.S. college students each year, your athletic program cannot afford to go without comprehensive catastrophic coverage.

Catastrophic insurance is essential in providing a safety net beyond basic accident insurance, covering exorbitant medical expenses arising from serious injuries. These injuries can sideline a promising athlete, not just for a season but potentially for a lifetime, leading to extensive rehabilitation needs and, in some cases, long-term care solutions.

When you invest in comprehensive catastrophic insurance, student-athletes receive the medical attention they need without the stress of unmanageable medical costs. This specialized coverage isn’t just another policy—it’s a critical support system for young athletes facing life-altering challenges.

Moreover, A-G leverages advanced technology for easy digital filing and claims tracking, making it a cinch to monitor the status and updates on each case. This speeds up claim handling and ensures accuracy and transparency, keeping trainers informed every step of the way.
