Medical Insurance
Prior to being cleared for practice/competition all student-athletes must complete insurance information forms. The student-athlete's insurance will be used as the primary insurance for athletically related injuries and illnesses. The Iowa State University Athletics Department will provide a secondary policy that will pay the remaining balance that is not covered by the primary insurance with regard to athletically related injuries and illnesses. Student-Athletes that do not have primary health insurance are still required to complete these forms.
