    Insurance Information / BMI Information                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Thomas College does not bill for services performed by its Athletic Trainers. MaineGeneral Medical Center as well as other healthcare providers will bill the patient's insurance for their services. In most cases the student athlete's regular health insurance policies will be the primary insurance coverage. After this primary insurance coverage has been applied, if the injury occurred during an activity sponsored by Thomas College Athletics, Thomas's additional sports insurance policy will provide secondary coverage.

Primary Insurance: All medical services (except those provided by Thomas's Athletic Training staff) will be billed to the student's personal/primary health insurance plan. If the injury did not occur during an activity sponsored by Thomas College Athletic Department, the student and student's family will be responsible for copayments, deductibles, and any other out-of-pocket expenses. Given this, it is advisable for students to speak with their primary insurance company to gain a full understanding of what is covered, for all health needs arising outside of the athletic season. 

Secondary Insurance: As a benefit to student athletes, Thomas College purchases an excess sports accident insurance policy though Bob McCloskey Insurance and BMI Benefits, LLC., which insures the student athlete when medical claims are incurred as the result of a covered injury while participating in Collegiate athletics. The Thomas College sports accident insurance for athletic injuries policy has a $1,000 deductible (per injury) and provides up to $90,000 of coverage (per injury) after the primary coverage has paid its maximum toward the claim.  There is additional coverage automatically through the NCAA, should the $90,000 maximum be reached. The Thomas College sports accident insurance policy does NOT cover non-sports related conditions under any circumstances.

Thomas College Sports Medicine partners with MaineGeneral Medical Center to provide on campus physical therapy services. These services require a formal PT referral. All PT services are billed by MaineGeneral through the student's primary insurance and when appropriate will also be billed through Thomas College's secondary athletic insurance.
