College men’s lacrosse players huddle up to celebrate their win. Keeping student-athletes and your program in good physical and fiscal health is a big responsibility at a Division 1 school, where athletics play a prominent role in an institution’s reputation and brand. Having solid accident insurance can go a long way toward achieving that goal. That’s where A-G Specialty Insurance comes in, with customized plans and risk management solutions that help you control—and even lower—claims and premium costs.

What Your D1 School Can Expect When A-G Is Part of the Team

D1 schools are known as the best colleges for sports. They offer at least 14 or 16 sports, depending on their subdivision, and as many as 24. With this many student-athletes, the financial impact of injuries can be staggering. Injuries can also have a less obvious but just as monumental impact on an athletic trainer’s time: Handling the claims takes you away from taking care of your athletes.

With A-G on your team, an injury’s financial and time-drain factors can be greatly reduced and potentially even eliminated. Watch how these schools have achieved greatness with A-G—and how you can, too.

 

Here’s What A-G Student-Athlete Insurance Brings to the Team:

Reduced financial burdens. There are two important facts to consider about the cost of sports injuries and insurance:

  1. Primary health insurance plans have deductibles and copayments that must be handled first before full coverage kicks in. For 2024, that amount is $18,900 for a family.
  2. Through the NCAA, injuries are covered by its catastrophic plan, but that doesn’t kick in until expenses reach $90,000.

An injured student-athlete and their family may need to cover tens of thousands of dollars of medical expenses before either plan kicks in. An A-G accident insurance plan can help by covering the out-of-pocket costs so the player and family won’t have to.

Lowered claim costs. Through our more than 40 national provider networks, we can negotiate claims and maximize discounts so that you and the student-athletes get the best possible outcomes.
