• Insurance Tab: Click on the ADD button at the top. Fill out all information. Copy front and back of student’s primary health insurance card and upload to ATS. At the bottom of the insurance form there is a section to upload the cards. It works best to take a picture with a smartphone, e-mail it to yourself, save it to the computer and upload. If you have difficulty please contact one of the staff members to assist you. 

   
**Make sure insurance cards are horizontal and not vertical.

• Sickle cell trait test results are required by the NCAA. You have 3 options: 1. Type in Test results (if have them, or contact the hospital). 2. You may waive your rights to be tested (most athletes usually opt for this). 3 You may get tested and report the results.

2. Physical/Medical History Forms

• Simpson College should have mailed you forms to complete. These include: student heath form, Physician report, Immunization history. These forms can also be downloaded from the Simpson College website.
• Please send a copy to Student Health Services as directed on the forms and one copy to Athletic Training- attention Taylor Witzel (Head Athletic Trainer).
• We highly recommend that physicals are updated within six months of collegiate athletic seasons. We understand that due to insurance coverages this may not be possible, but this decreases the chances of missed practices or athletic events due to inability to obtain a new physical at the insurance time. Furthermore, the NCAA requires physicals to be signed off by a physician with a medical standing of M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine). Any physicals without a signature from an M.D. or D.O. risks the chance of not participating in NCAA athletics.
