TO: Try-Out Participants FROM: Allen Hardin, Senior Associate Athletics Director, Sports Medicine SUBJECT: REQUIRED MEDICAL/INSURANCE FORMS This packet contains important forms that you need to complete. Instructions and the purpose of each form, as well as very important information regarding insurance coverage is addressed below. 1. Medical History Questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed to solicit information about your personal health

history and that of your family. It is critical for us to know if you or any immediate member of your family (parents, grandparents, or siblings) has had a history of serious or prolonged illness. We also want to know if you have had a history of previous hospitalizations, surgeries, injuries, or any other conditions that may warrant follow-up medical care. Please be as thorough as you can when answering the questions. The information obtained from the questionnaire will be used by the sports medicine staff to determine your health status.

2. Physical Examination. You must show proof of a physical examination performed by a doctor, completed in

the past 6 months. It is your responsibility to identify a physician who can conduct your physical examination and the complete the form accordingly.

3. Sickle Cell Trait Testing. In Division I Athletics, NCAA legislation has been adopted that requires try out

participants to undergo a sickle cell solubility test unless documented results of a prior test are provided to the institution. Ask your attending physician about where this test can be completed. Try-outs may opt to exercise a waiver declining confirmation of sickle cell trait status. Those individuals that are added to the Spirit Squad must obtain a sickle cell test if prior results are not available, per Texas Athletics Policy.

4. Assumption of Risk/Release and Indemnification Agreement. Participation in intercollegiate athletics

constitutes an assumption of risk because of the vigorous nature of the activities and potential for adverse health consequences. By signing this agreement, you acknowledge that there is an inherent health risk even when all the rules are followed and training conditions are optimal. This is a risk that you accept voluntarily, and therefore, will not hold the Texas Athletics responsible if you get hurt as a direct result of participation.

If you are under 18 years of age, a separate Release and Indemnification Agreement is enclosed that requires the signature of your parent or legal guardian. In addition, if you are under 18 years of age, we must have the consent of your parent or legal guardian to treat you in the event that you sustain an injury or become ill. The form utilized for authorization purposes is entitled Consent for Treatment of a Minor. The signature of your parent or legal guardian grants permission to team physicians, athletic trainers and other health care professionals to provide any preventative, first aid, emergency, or rehabilitative treatment that they deem reasonably necessary for your health and well-being.

5. Notice of Privacy Practices. If you are injured during tryouts, your care will be coordinated by Texas Athletics’ Division of Sports Medicine. The professional staff may disclose your medical information to the extent necessary to provide you with quality medical care. Sharing of this information requires compliance with privacy practices required by law. These privacy practices dictate how your medical information may be used and disclosed, and how you can obtain this information. We are required to provide you with our Notice of Privacy Practices and to secure your signature acknowledging receipt of the privacy notice.

6. Authorizations to Release Medical Information (Coaches and Athletics Staff; Parents and Guardians;

Media; Teammates; Student Athletic Trainers and Other Student Members of Sports Medicine Staff; and Professional Teams). The Division of Sports Medicine has policies and procedures in place to safeguard the privacy of your medical records and protect you from unnecessary disclosure of your health information. In an

Page 3: The University of Texas at Austin - Amazon S3 · 2016. 2. 10. · the university of texas at austin division of sports medicine intercollegiate athletics pre-participationmedical

athletics setting, there are many parties who may potentially have access to your health information, especially in routine injury situations. These parties include coaches and athletics staff; parents or guardians; media; teammates; athletic training students; and, professional teams and their scouts.

In the event that you sustain an injury while trying out, we may need to discuss with your coaches, parents, and/or other people involved in your care to best determine your treatment options. When doing so only within the following parameters: • You have given us oral consent or implied consent through your actions. • You have signed authorization forms permitting us to disclose pertinent health information to the parties

mentioned.

You have the right to restrict disclosure of your health information to any of the parties by refusing to sign the appropriate authorization forms. If you choose to do so, you must write, “refused to authorize” on the form and validate with your signature and date. You maintain the right to revoke any of your signed authorizations. In order for you to revoke your signed authorizations under these circumstances, you must discuss your intentions with your providers (e.g., team physicians and athletic trainers) and a new form will be processed that restricts disclosure of the specified health information.

Although you have signed authorizations permitting us to share your health information, we are not obligated to do so. In accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Standards, we will respect the privacy of your health information by releasing only the information necessary to protect your health and safety, and we will take appropriate measures to ensure the confidentiality of your medical records.

7. Authorization for Release of Insurance Data. Texas Athletics cannot assume financial responsibility for treatment if you are injured during the tryout period. Therefore, you are required to indicate the type of insurance coverage that you possess or that is maintained for you by your parents/guardians. You will not be cleared for participation if you do not have insurance coverage and/or if you fail to provide all the information requested.

8. Authorizations for Release of Your Patient Records. Upon receipt of your medical screening forms, the sports

medicine staff will thoroughly review your Report of Medical History, with special attention to information regarding current medications, precious hospitalizations and/or surgeries, and injuries/illnesses that warranted a physician’s care.

In the event your medical history is consistent with one or all of the above conditions, we may need additional medical information from your physician(s). The Medical Records Release form is included in this packet for this purpose. Your signature is required to secure additional medical records. Complete only the bottom portion of this form that requests your signature and date.

9. Disclosure of ADD/ADHD Medications. Certain medications, specifically stimulant medications (e.g.,

Strattera, Ritalin, Adderall, etc.) for the treatment of “attention deficit disorder” or ADD/ADHD, must be declared at the time of your pre-participation screening. Therefore, all participants prescribed stimulant medications for ADD/ADHD must provide adequate documentation of diagnosis and medication prescription. Your prescribing physician must complete the forms in the section entitled Documentation for Stimulant Medications. Tear out these forms in this section and forward them to your prescribing physician for completion. Your physician must complete these forms as instructed and return the documents to us.

AboutSickleCellTrait Sickle cell trait is not a disease. Sickle cell trait is an inherited condition affecting the oxygen-

carrying substance, hemoglobin, in the red blood cells. You are born with sickle cell trait; it cannot be developed over time or contracted like a disease.

Sickle cell trait is a common condition (> 3 million Americans). Although Sickle cell trait occurs most commonly in African-Americans and those of Mediterranean,

Middle Eastern, Indian, Caribbean, and South and Central American ancestry, persons of all races and ethnicities may test positive for this condition.

Those with sickle cell trait usually have no symptoms or any significant health problems. However, sometimes during very intense, sustained physical activity, as can occur with collegiate sports, certain dangerous conditions can develop in those with sickle cell trait, leading to blood vessel and organ (kidneys, muscles, heart) damage that can cause sudden collapse and death. Some of the settings in which this can occur include timed runs, all out exertion of any type for 2 to 3 continuous minutes without a rest period, intense drills and other bursts of exercise after doing prolonged conditioning training. Extreme heat and dehydration increase the risks.

More information and resources regarding sickle cell trait and the NCAA’s recommendation for sickle cell trait testing can be found at the NCAA web site resource pages regarding the sickle cell trait, accessible at: www.NCAA.org/health‐safety.

SickleCellTraitTesting The NCAA recommends that all student-athletes have knowledge of their sickle cell trait status.

Student-athletes must 1) show proof of a prior test with results; 2) have a blood test to check for sickle cell trait; or 3) sign a testing waiver declining options 1 and 2. Whichever option is chosen, it must be completed before the athlete participates in any intercollegiate athletics event, including strength and conditioning sessions, practices, competitions, etc.

Texas Athletics recommends that all student-athletes who are unable to confirm their sickle cell trait status undergo sickle cell trait testing prior to participation in any intercollegiate athlete activity.

Athletes who are positive for the trait will be allowed to participate in intercollegiate athletics; this does NOT prohibit you from playing.

Oneofthefollowingthreeoptionsmustbechosen:

□ Copy of athlete’s newborn sickle cell testing resultattached. Date: □ Copy of recent sickle cell screening test resultattached. Date: □ Completed Sickle Cell Testing Waiver (see next page)

PARTICIPANT’S NAME SPORT

The University of Texas at Austin’s Departments of Intercollegiate Athletics is concerned about the health and well-being of its prospective student-athletes. However, the health status and physiological capabilities of individuals who are not recruited student-athletes at the time of team tryouts are not known to the University’s athletics personnel or sports medicine providers. Therefore, it is necessary for any UT student desiring to tryout for an intercollegiate athletics team to certify that he/she is in adequate physical condition to meet training expectations, and to release the state of Texas, Intercollegiate Athletics, the athletic team and all of their respective members, officers, employees, and agents (hereinafter referred to as The University of Texas) from any liability for not providing proof of medical examinations, athletic trainers’ examinations, or physical fitness assessments prior to the tryout.

I am the Parent/Guardian of the above-named Participant who is under eighteen years of age and am fully competent to sign this Agreement.

I realize that my son’s/daughter’s participation in the aforementioned sport carries with it risk of injury/illness, even when all rules are followed and conditions are optimal. There are various safety problems that can increase injury risk potential. Some safety problems are regularly identified and addressed (i.e., heat illness and the administration of liquids frequently during practices; collisions and the use of high quality, durable, and safe protective equipment). Other safety problems may be less clearly identified (i.e., mechanisms of head and neck injuries or ankle and knee injuries) and, therefore, prevention and protection are difficult. Risk can be increased due to the participant’s lack of compliance with specified instructions (i.e., using improper footwear, knowingly using dangerous or faulty equipment, training when environmental conditions are dangerous (high heat/high humidity, lighting), and engaging in high intensity or high volume training without adequate fitness or conditioning. Even in the best facilities, with adequate supervision, use of all protective equipment, and compliance with all of the rules, there remains an inherent risk of injury/illness as a result of my participation, and this risk is increased even more so with contact sports.

I acknowledge that my son’s/daughter’s voluntary participation may expose him/her to hazards or risks that may result in his/her personal injury/illness or death. I acknowledge that I am aware of the risks of injury/illness and knowledgeable concerning rules, equipment and safety practices being employed by UT athletics personnel to minimize my son’s/daughter’s risk of sustaining an injury/illness as a result of participation. My son/daughter agrees to use all required protective equipment and follow all rules and instructions from University officials regarding safety. Also, my son/daughter has no known physical infirmities which could be worsened or aggravated by participation and I declare him/her physically fit and in good medical condition to engage in all athletics activities.

In consideration for The University granting my son/daughter permission to engage in said tryout, and therefore foregoing its right to prevent him/her from participating in said tryout, I hereby release The University of Texas at Austin, its Board of Regents, Officers, Employees, and Representatives from any and all liability, claims, costs or expenses resulting from any and all injuries (including death) or infirmities that may result in the course of his/her tryout.

I realize that my participation in the aforementioned sport carries with it risk of injury/illness, even when all rules are followed and conditions are optimal. There are various safety problems that can increase injury risk potential. Some safety problems are regularly identified and addressed (i.e., heat illness and the administration of liquids frequently during practices; collisions and the use of high quality, durable, and safe protective equipment). Other safety problems may be less clearly identified (i.e., mechanisms of head and neck injuries or ankle and knee injuries) and, therefore, prevention and protection are difficult. Risk can be increased due to the participant’s lack of compliance with specified instructions (i.e., using improper footwear, knowingly using dangerous or faulty equipment, training when environmental conditions are dangerous (high heat/high humidity, lighting), and engaging in high intensity or high volume training without adequate fitness or conditioning. Even in the best facilities, with adequate supervision, use of all protective equipment, and compliance with all of the rules, there remains an inherent risk of injury/illness as a result of my participation, and this risk is increased even more so with contact sports.

I acknowledge that my voluntary participation may expose me to hazards or risks that may result in my personal injury/illness or death. I acknowledge that I am aware of the risks of injury/illness and knowledgeable concerning rules, equipment and safety practices employed to minimize my risk of sustaining an injury/illness while participating in the sport. I agree to use all required protective equipment and follow all rules and instructions from University officials regarding my safety. Also, I have no known physical infirmities which could be worsened or aggravated by my participation and I declare myself physically fit and in good medical condition to engage in all athletics activities.

In consideration for the University granting me permission to engage in said tryout, and therefore foregoing its right to prevent me from participating in said tryout, I hereby release The University of Texas at Austin, its Board of Regents, Officers, Employees, and Representatives any and all liability, claims, costs or expenses resulting from any and all injuries (including death) or infirmities that I may suffer in the course of my tryout. I understand that The University of Texas at Austin and all its insurers will not be responsible for any of my medical expenses, pain and suffering, present or future lost wages or diminished earning capacity, or any other damages that may arise from any injury/infirmity that I may suffer during my participation. I further agree to
