JHU Billing Information

All student athletes who participate in a sport within the Department of Athletics at Johns Hopkins University are required to be covered by a Health/Medical Insurance policy through their parent or guardian’s policy, their own policy, or with the JHU Student Health Insurance Plan. This information must be provided as part of the Medical Clearance requirement. It is the responsibility of the student athlete and their family to secure and maintain personal health insurance coverage. The Athletic Training Staff must be notified immediately of any changes in this information.

Costs generated by daily evaluations, treatments, and rehabilitation done in the athletic training room by certified athletic trainers or team physicians are not charged to the athlete.  Additional expenses such as diagnostic studies (x-rays, MRI’s), office visits, surgeries, and orthotic equipment will be billed to the primary insurance.  The remaining balance will be sent in bill form to the athlete’s permanent address.  It is the responsibility of the athlete or the parents to submit the following to the athletic training room for bills generated by JHU athletic related injuries:

·         A bill statement from the provider showing a balance due after insurance payment.

·         An ‘Explanation of Benefits’ from the insurance company displaying the provider’s charge and amount covered by insurance.

The athletic training room staff are unaware of all bills generated until they are submitted by the athlete.  Please submit these bills in a timely manner to avoid complications from the provider and collection agencies.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The JHU Athletic Department is NOT responsible for:

    *Bills generated from services provided for injuries or illnesses originating from activities unrelated
to Johns Hopkins University intercollegiate athletic participation.

    *Bills incurred by a student athlete who seeks outside medical attention without the knowledge and
permission of the staff athletic trainer and team physician.

    *Bills incurred by a student athlete who is uninsured at the time of injury or when the service is
provided.

For more information or clarification of the referral and billing process/policies, please contact your appropriate athletic trainer.
