Each form is important and must be completed prior to participation in athletics and enrollment at this university. While some of the forms may seem repetitive, it is necessary to complete each as different offices on campus require similar forms. If these forms are not complete, you will not be cleared to participate in intercollegiate athletics at St. John s University. Therefore, we ask that you PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN YOU FILL OUT AND RETURN EVERYTHING asked by each of the following offices. Please use this checklist to help ensure you have completed all the necessary forms. 1.

3 Sports Medicine NCAA Information for Drug Testing Medical Exceptions To All Incoming Freshmen / Transfer and Returning Student Athletes and Parents / Legal Guardians: As you are aware, the NCAA conducts random drug testing of student athletes. More information about the NCAA s year-round drug testing policy, including impermissible substances can be found at A student whose drug test results are positive for banned substances will generally be declared immediately ineligible for competition. The NCAA recognizes, however, that some banned substances are used for legitimate medical purposes, and will grant exceptions from a positive drug test for those student athletes who are able to provide medical records which demonstrate that they have a medical need and current prescription for a banned substance, including medications prescribed for male-pattern baldness, stimulants used to treat ADD/ADHD, peptide hormones (hgh), and anabolic steroids (testosterone). Student athletes are responsible for notifying the Sports Medicine Staff that they are taking prescription medications for which they may require a medical exception from a NCAA drug test. If a student athlete is taking a prescription medication, the student should submit documentation from the prescribing physician to support the prescription to the Athletic Training Room at the beginning of each academic year, and update this information as prescriptions change. All documentation related to a student athlete s medical status will be kept in a confidential file in the Department of Athletics and will not be disclosed to the NCAA or other third party, unless specifically requested by the NCAA in connection with a positive drug test. NOTE TO STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH ADD/ADHD: Beginning August 1, 2009, the NCAA has indicated that there will be a stricter application of the NCAA Medical Exception Policy as it applies to banned stimulant medications used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This stricter application will require documentation that demonstrates the student athlete has undergone a clinical assessment to diagnose ADHD, is being monitored regularly for use of the stimulant medication, and has a current prescription on file. Detailed information about the NCAA s specific requirements for a medical exception for ADHD prescription medication may be found at These documentation requirements are very stringent. To avoid prolonged periods of ineligibility in the event of a positive drug test, St. John s University strongly recommends that students with current prescriptions for medication for ADHD keep the required documentation on file with the Sports Medicine Staff so that it may be produced promptly to the NCAA in the event of a positive test. The specific documentation requirements for students taking prescription medication for ADHD are described in the attached guidelines from the NCAA. (See NCAA Banned Drugs and Medical Exception Policy Guidelines Regarding Medical Reporting for Student Athletes with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) Taking Prescribed Stimulants.) The Sports Medicine staff is also available to answer any questions student athletes or their parents may have about the NCAA s drug testing program, its medical exception procedure, or the ADHD documentation requirements. As a condition of your participation in St. John s University Athletics, please sign below to acknowledge that you understand the NCAA rules and requirements related to drug testing. By signing below, I understand that it is my responsibility, for my own health and safety as well as for the purposes of NCAA drug testing, to keep my medical file current with the Sports Medicine Staff at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that my file contains a complete list of any medication that I am currently prescribed for any medical condition(s). I understand that certain medications may be banned by the NCAA, and I give my permission to St. John s University to provide some or all of medical records to the NCAA to petition for a medical exception in the event that I test positive on a NCAA drug test.

4 NCAA Banned Drugs and Medical Exceptions Policy Guidelines Regarding Medical Reporting for Student- Athletes with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Taking Prescribed Stimulants The NCAA bans classes of drugs because they can harm student-athletes and can create an unfair advantage in competition. Some legitimate medications contain NCAA banned substances, and student-athletes may need to use these medicines to support their academics and their general health. The NCAA has a procedure to review and approve legitimate use of medications that contain NCAA banned substances through a Medical Exceptions Procedure. The diagnosis of adult ADHD remains clinically based utilizing clinical interviews, symptom-rating scales, and subjective reporting from patients and others. The following guidelines will help institutions ensure adequate medical records are on file for student-athletes diagnosed with ADHD in order to request an exception in the event a student-athlete tests positive during NCAA Drug Testing. 1. General considerations. Student-athletes diagnosed with ADHD in childhood should provide records of the ADHD assessment and history of treatment. Student-athletes treated since childhood with ADHD stimulant medication but who do not have records of childhood ADHD assessment, or who are initiating treatment as an adult, must undergo a comprehensive evaluation to establish a diagnosis of ADHD. There are currently no formal guidelines or standards of care for the evaluation and management of adult ADHD. The diagnosis is based on a clinical evaluation. ADHD is a neurobiological disorder that should be assessed by an experienced clinician and managed by a physician to improve the functioning and quality of life of an individual. a. Student-athletes should have access to a comprehensive continuum of care including educational, behavioral, psychosocial and pharmacological services provided by licensed practitioners who have experience in the diagnosis and management of ADHD. Student athletes treated with ADHD stimulant medication should receive, at a minimum, annual clinical evaluations. b. Mental health professionals who evaluate and prescribe medical therapy for student-athletes with ADHD should have appropriate training and experience in the diagnosis and management of ADHD and should have access to consultation and referral resources, such as appropriate medical specialists. c. Primary care professionals providing mental health services (specifically the prescribing of stimulants) for student-athletes with ADHD should have experience in the diagnosis and management of ADHD and should have access to consultation and referral resources (e.g., qualified mental health professionals as well as other appropriate medical specialists). 2. Recommended ways to facilitate academic, athletics, occupational and psychosocial success in the college athlete with adult ADHD taking prescribed stimulants include: a. Access to practitioners experienced in the diagnosis and management of adult ADHD. b. A timely, comprehensive clinical evaluation and appropriate diagnosis using current medical standards. NCAA Medical Exceptions Policy c. Access to disability services. d. Appropriate medical reporting to athletics departments/sports medicine staff. e. Regular mental health/general medical follow-up. 3. Student-Athlete Document Responsibility. The student-athlete s documentation from the prescribing physician to the athletics departments/ sports medicine staff should contain a minimum of the following information to help ensure that ADHD has been diagnosed and is being managed appropriately (see Attachment for physician letter criteria): a. Description of the evaluation process which identifies the assessment tools and procedures. b. Statement of the Diagnosis, including when it was confirmed. c. History of ADHD treatment (previous/ongoing). d. Statement that a non-banned ADHD alternative has been considered if a stimulant is currently prescribed. e. Statement regarding follow-up and monitoring visits. 4. Institutional Document Responsibility. The institution should note ADHD treatment in the student-athlete s medical record on file in the athletics department. In order to request a medical exception for ADHD stimulant medication use, it is important for the institution to have on file documentation that an evaluation has been conducted, the student-athlete is undergoing medical care for the condition, and the student-athlete is being treated appropriately. The institution should keep the following on confidential file: a. Record of the student-athlete s evaluation. b. Statement of the Diagnosis, including when it was confirmed. c. History of ADHD treatment (previous/ongoing). d. Copy of the most recent prescription (as documented by the prescribing physician). 5. Requesting an NCAA Medical Exception: a. The student-athlete should report the banned medication to the institution upon matriculation or when treatment commences in order for the student-athlete to be eligible for a medical exception in the event of a positive drug test. b. A student-athlete s medical records or physician s letter should not be sent to the NCAA, unless requested by the NCAA. c. The use of the prescribed stimulant medication does not need to be reported at the time of NCAA drug testing. d. Documentation should be submitted by the institution in the event a student-athlete tests positive for the banned stimulant. Note: The NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports may approve stimulant medication use for ADHD without a prior trial of a non-stimulant medication. Although the NCAA Medical Exception Policy requires that a non-banned medication be considered, the medical community has generally accepted that the non-stimulant medications may not be as effective in the treatment of ADHD for some in this age group.

5 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Guideline Attachment Criteria for letter from prescribing Physician to provide documentation to the Athletics Department/Sports Medicine staff regarding assessment of student-athletes taking prescribed stimulants for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), in support of an NCAA Medical Exception request for the use of a banned substance.

6 DRUG TESTING POLICY PHILOSOPHY: The abuse of alcohol and illicit use of drugs can be detrimental to the physical well being of its student-athletes. Substance abuse by student-athletes jeopardizes athletic performance, and is contrary to NCAA regulations and the expectations of St. John s University. Each student-athlete is required to review the banned substance list and sign the NCAA Drug Test Consent Form prior to the first practice or other date as designated by the NCAA. The NCAA Drug Testing Policy applies to all student-athletes. Testing of student-athletes may occur at any time during the year, whether they are in-season or not. Any individual who tests positive for an NCAA drug test will be declared ineligible for further participation. The drug testing program is under the direction of the St. John s University Physician whose role is to coordinate all steps of the drug testing procedure. Drug testing will be conducted throughout the year. In addition, a student-athlete may be subject to testing at any time when, in the judgment of the Director of Athletics, there is reasonable cause to suspect the student is engaged in the use of any of the drugs prohibited by this policy. Such individualized suspicion may be based on information from any source deemed reliable by the Director of Athletics. DRUG TESTING PROCEDURE: The Office of Athletics may request all student-athletes to volunteer a urine specimen to be analyzed upon request at any time during the academic year. The student-athlete is notified by a member of the athletic training staff when to report for testing. The collection procedures are as follows: The Office of Athletics may request all student-athletes to volunteer a urine specimen to be analyzed upon request at any time during the academic year.

A same gender staff member will then escort the student-athlete to the test site lavatory where they will be directly observed voiding into a collection cup a minimum of 60mL of urine. The student-athlete will then take the cup, untouched by anyone else, to the collection site. Temperature of the specimen will then be noted (ph and specific gravity may be tested additionally). The specimen will then pour, by the ATC, into the collection vial chosen by the student-athlete. The ATC and student-athlete will complete the chain of custody (COC) forms and apply the bar code label seals on the specimen vial.specimens will then be shipped either same day or next day by air courier.

13 ATTENTION: **Those People Participating in an HMO or other Managed Health Care Plan** If you belong to an HMO insurance coverage plan, or other managed care plan, you should contact your employer s benefits provider or your insurance company before your child enters school this Fall. If you are unsure of the nature of your medical insurance coverage, contact your employer s benefits provider or insurance company to clarify your coverage. It has been our experience that it would be beneficial for you to contact your insurance company NOW, long before your child enters school in the Fall, to ask the appropriate questions in order to maximize your benefits, and to ensure your child has adequate, hassle-free coverage while he/she is away at school. You may find it necessary for you to change insurance coverage if your insurance company will not allow out-of-network coverage for your child. If you have any printed material or phone numbers that should be called prior to the student athlete receiving any medical treatment that would assist in this matter, please include them when you return this form along with the insurance information & demographic form. This worksheet is designed for you to use when you call your insurance company. Use the blank lines to answer the questions. Please return this form (filled out) to us once you are finished, along with the insurance questionnaire. 1. Can we set up out-of-network coverage for my child while he/she is away at school? YES NO 2. What providers in the New York City area are acceptable for my child to see in the event he/she has an injury/illness? (This is once out-of-network coverage is set up) 3. Does my child need to be certified as a full-time college student to be covered (while away at school)? If yes, will you send the appropriate paperwork? YES NO 4. Are there specific guidelines that must be followed in order to access medical care (out-of-network care) while my child is away at school at St. John s University?

16 St. John s University Athletic Department Insurance Information Pamphlet Welcome! We hope the information in this pamphlet helps to explain our athletic insurance policy, referral procedures, and answer any questions you may have concerning the scope of coverage. We look forward to having your child represent The Red Storm. **What type of athletic insurance does the athletic department carry? Our goal is to provide the best possible health care for our student athlete. To achieve this goal, communication and cooperation between the attending physician and our Sports Medicine Network are essential from the time of injury through complete rehabilitation. Your cooperation in adhering to the policies and procedures outlined in this pamphlet will enhance care and is necessary to make claims against our insurance. As a service to our student athletes, the Athletic Department provides a secondary or supplemental athletic accidental insurance. The secondary policy will only be applied to medical costs incurred for services rendered by a participant in the St. John s University Sports Medicine Network and their specific written referral for further care. That care must still be coordinated through the Sports Medicine Staff prior to the visit. The secondary policy is applicable only for athletic injuries that are a direct result of intercollegiate accidents during a required St John s University practice or competition supervised by a coach. The secondary insurance policy requires that the injured athlete first make a claim under their primary medical or hospitalization insurance. Medical expenses not covered by the primary insurance will be paid under the school s policy (subject to its limitations and conditions). Although we attempt to purchase the most comprehensive policy within our resources, this is not an all-inclusive policy. **How does my child qualify for secondary coverage? You must complete an annual medical Insurance Information and Demographic Form that asks for the personal insurance information under which your child is covered. This form, along with a photocopy of the applicable primary medical insurance I.D. card (front and back), must be on file in the athletic training room prior to an injury. **How does the insurance coverage work? The secondary insurance policy requires that the injured athlete first make a claim under the primary insurance. We send your primary insurance information when the athlete is referred for care. The provider should file a claim with your insurance company for the services rendered. Your company will evaluate the claim and either pay you or the provider directly or deny the

17 claim. If the provider does not file with the primary insurance, the provider may send you a bill for you to file with your insurance company. If after 60 days of the date of injury, you have not received anything form your insurance company: 1. Call your insurance company to check the status of the claim, and/or 2. Submit the bill from the provider to your insurance company. We will also send the providers our secondary insurance information and notify our insurance company that a claim may be forthcoming. The provider should file a claim against our secondary insurance company after your primary insurance has been exhausted. * You should contact the providers directly to make sure they have filed with primary and secondary insurance companies. You may need to file these claims yourself. **When is an athlete referred to a physician? Whenever the team physicians or the athletic trainers are of the opinion that a consultation would facilitate/improve the care of an injury, arrangements for such a visit will be made. Coaches do not have the authority to refer an athlete to any physician except for emergency medical care when the Sports Medicine Staff is not available. **What if I belong to an HMO? If you belong to a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), you are limited to the HMO s physician and facilities. You are requested to send us specific instructions, requirements, and/or limitations, which may be included with the policy. This information is necessary for the claims process to be filed correctly. Failure to follow the proper HMO procedures will void your eligibility for coverage under the athletic department s secondary insurance. **Which physicians can an athlete see under the secondary insurance plan? For an athlete to be covered under the athletic department s secondary insurance, they may be seen only by participants in our Sports Medicine Network. This network is composed of a wide range of specialists from the local medical community. This group is dedicated to providing the best possible health care to St. John s University athletes. We formed this network to insure accurate and continuous communication between the physicians and the Sports Medicine Staff. Prior written authorization must be if an athlete wishes to seek medical attention outside of the network. Authorization is granted only in cases where our consulting physicians cannot provide the required care. If an athlete seeks a second opinion or care from an out-of-network provider, he/she will be medically ineligible to participate in athletics or utilize the service of the St. John s University Sports Medicine Program until medical records are received and reviewed by the Sports Medicine Staff. The athlete has the responsibility to see that the physician forwards all requested information. You also assume the financial responsibility for any travel cost and the services of that provider. Our secondary insurance cannot be applied to those services. **Towards which bills can the secondary insurance coverage be applied? The athletic department s secondary insurance can be applied only to those bills for an athletic injury:

18 1. when prior approval for a referral was granted through the Sports Medicine Staff, 2. when the care has been coordinated through the Sports Medicine Staff, 3. for services rendered by participants in the Sports Medicine Network and their specific written referral, 4. for care rendered within 52 weeks of the date of injury, and 5. your insurance company has responded to and resolved all claims **What types of things are NOT covered under secondary insurance? Any injury sustained outside of an NCAA sanctioned practice or competition supervised by a coach will not be covered. Examples include summer outside competition, voluntary captain practices, voluntary summer workouts, and voluntary training sessions. A chronic injury or recurrent injury that was sustained prior to participation in athletics at St. John s University. Any degenerative conditions diagnosed by a physician. Any illness (cold, flu, infection, etc) Unauthorized consultations or treatments. Conditions as a result of non-compliance with school s policies, team rules, or the advice of the team physician, attending physicians, the certified athletic trainers, or coach. Any injury that is not reported to the Sports Medicine Staff within the 7 days of occurrence or onset of symptoms. **What are the parent s and/or athlete s responsibilities? It must be clearly understood that the parents and the athlete are responsible for maintaining proper health coverage and prompt submission of all claims and bills to their insurance company. The Athletic Department of St. John s University will not be responsible for medical expenses that were not properly processed by athletes and parents to their primary carrier. **Please keep this form so you may refer to it if and when any insurance questions or situations arise**

19 Sports Medicine Sickle Cell Trait Information Form The NCAA recommends that all student-athletes be aware of their sickle cell status. If the student athlete does not know whether they are positive for sickle cell trait, the NCAA recommends that student athletes undergo testing to determine their status. St. John s University is supportive of this recommendation and requests that each student-athlete provide Sports Medicine with documentation of their sickle cell trait status. If a student opts not to provide the University with this information, s/he must sign the testing waiver below. To help you make an informed decision regarding this issue, some basic information is provided below, as well as a link to additional resources. About Sickle Cell Trait- Sickle cell trait is an inherited condition of the oxygen-carrying protein, hemoglobin, in the red blood cells. Sickle cell trait is a common condition, which affects more than 3 million Americans Although sickle cell trait is most predominant in African-Americans and those of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, Caribbean, and South and Central American ancestry, persons of all races and ancestry may test positive for sickle cell trait. Sickle cell trait is usually benign, but during intense, sustained exercise, hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the muscles may cause sickling of red blood cells (red blood cells changing from a normal disc shape to a crescent or sickle shape), which can accumulate in the bloodstream and logjam blood vessels, leading to collapse and even death due to the rapid breakdown of muscles starved of blood. More information regarding sickle cell trait and the rationale for the NCAA s recommendation that all student athletes be aware of their status may be found at Sickle Cell Trait Testing- St. John s University offers sickle cell trait screening in the form of a blood test to all student-athletes. Testing can be conducted at the offices of Dr. Osric King or other laboratory facility of the student s choosing. To arrange for testing at Dr. Kings office, please call (718) or see your athletic trainer. If you choose to undergo testing, all costs associated will be processed through our compliance office. Please attach results to this form and return both with your physical paperwork.
