Pre-Participation Physicals

School Year 2024-25

Welcome to Washington State University Athletics! WSU Sports Medicine coordinates medical care to student-athletes and spirit squad members for injuries and illness they encounter while competing for WSU. WSU Sports Medicine will be financially responsible for student-athlete sport-related injuries and illnesses and spirit squad members participation injuries, occurring as a direct result of official team activities. WSU Sports Medicine will be the secondary payer after the student-athlete’s/spirit squad member’s primary and secondary health insurance are processed to pay for the health care services. In the event a student-athlete/spirit squad member is insured by a federal health care program (e.g., Medicaid, TriCare) or certain limited health plans that expressly exclude collegiate sport injuries/illnesses, WSU Sports Medicine will be the primary payer. WSU Sports Medicine will also cover co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles where the student-athlete’s/spirit squad member’s personal insurance is the primary payer. Student-athletes and spirit squad members will NOT be able to practice until they have been cleared by the WSU Sports Medicine staff.
