What is the NCAA Medical Monitoring Program?

Former student-athletes filed a class action lawsuit against the NCAA alleging that the NCAA was negligent and breached its duty to protect student-athletes from concussion. While the NCAA denied all allegations, on November 18, 2019, the NCAA and former student-athletes reached a Settlement to establish a Medical Monitoring Program. The program started on February 18, 2020 and ends November 18, 2069.

The Medical Monitoring Program will screen eligible student-athletes for post-concussion symptoms as well as cognitive, mood, behavioral, and motor problems that may be associated with mid- to late-life onset brain diseases (for example, Alzheimer’s disease). Former student-athletes may qualify for up to two medical evaluations during the 50-year Medical Monitoring period.

How do I know if I qualify for the program?

All of the adult service clinical staff at ANH are contracted to administer the neurocognitive assessment component of the medical evaluations at no cost to a qualified student-athlete.

If I qualify, how do I get tested?

How much will the testing cost me?

If you qualify for the NCAA settlement program the cognitive testing is completely covered by the NCAA at no cost to you.
