Insurance is a major area of focus for the USSA, both as an organization and on your behalf as a named national athlete. The USSA invests more than $1 million each year for insurance and also partners with the U.S. Olympic Committee and other agencies to provide the best possible coverage.

The USSA maintains, for USSA-related activities, excess sport accident insurance for all named national team athletes to help cover expenses for accidents over and above what the athlete’s primary insurance will cover. Athletes must provide their own health insurance to cover illnesses, health conditions, chronic or repetitive use injuries, or injuries or conditions not incurred in an organized training session. Athletes also are responsible for reporting outside medical services to USSA Medical or Team physicians.

In addition, some elite athletes may also be covered under the U.S. Olympic Committee's Elite Athlete Health Insurance program.

Named national team athletes are also provided with an outstanding program from Global Rescue, which provides medical support and evacuation worldwide.
