In case of emergency notify: Name: ______________________________ Relationship:_____________________ Phone: ___________________________ Dear Parent(s)/Guardian of student athletes: • DO NOT Drop dependent coverage while your son or daughter is participating in intercollegiate athletics. Primary insurance is MANDATORY for all UC Irvine

Students while participating in athletics. • In all injury or illness cases, UC Irvine Athletics will use the student-athlete’s primary insurance. • UC Irvine Athletics carries a secondary insurance policy in "EXCESS" or "SECONDARY" to all other collectible insurance benefits.

o Provides coverage additional to the student-athletes’ primary insurance for injuries which occurred while participating in intercollegiate sport practice or play under the direct supervision of a UC Irvine coach.

o Does not cover student-athletes participating in unsupervised sport related activities. o Eligibility of coverage must be authorized in writing by the Director of Sports Medicine. o Is not all inclusive and will only cover costs deemed reasonable and customary by the insurance provider. o May have limitations that define the scope of care.

Additional note: The UC Student Health Insurance Plan (USHIP) is offered through UC Irvine Student Health and every student is automatically enrolled. We recommend student-athletes not waive out of USHIP and utilize quick and easy campus access for routine health care. Exclusions and restrictions in USHIP typically make the primary insurance health care plan superior, for more complex health care needs. The exception is the international student-athlete. Most employers’ group insurance allows dependent coverage to be continued until age 26. If enrolled in USHIP for the fall quarter, this policy will not be active and cover any medical related costs until after the start of the academic quarter. Have you WAIVED your enrollment in UC Student Health Insurance Plan (USHIP) from UC Irvine Student Health by the September 9, 2019 Deadline?

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.

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

Page 8: IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION REGARDING PRE … · UC Irvine Sports Medicine IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION REGARDING PRE-PATICIPATION PHYSICAL EXAMS If you have any questions

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)

e. Requesting an NCAA Medical Exception:

5. 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.

a. A student-athlete’s medical records or physician’s letter should not be sent to the NCAA, unless requested by the NCAA.

b. The use of the prescribed stimulant medication does not need to be reported at the time of NCAA drug testing.

c. 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.
