1. Why do I need insurance, I have coverage through my employer?

The medical coverage provided as a benefit to your ASA registration is designed to supplement any existing coverage you may have. It can pick up deductibles or supplement any limitations your existing policy may have. You are also provided with a two million-dollar liability policy to protect you against lawsuits arising out of your softball activities.

  1. Do I need to register for each team I play on?
  2. No. Individual registration follows your USA/ASA softball play throughout the year. One time registration covers you for spring ball, All Stars, winter ball and Championship play even if you play on a different team for each!

  3. How do I prove that I am registered and insured?
  4. Each person receives his or her own USA/ASA registration card with his or her name, DOB (players only) and insurance deductible printed on it. On the back of the card is information regarding the insurance coverage and the number to call in case of a claim.

  5. Is the $250 deductible on the medical policy the only choice I have?
  6. No, we offer three different deductible amounts, $250 or No-deductible. Because this is an individual policy, each person on a team can select the deductible amount that best suits their personal needs. The no-deductible plan costs slightly more.

  7. Why do you want my Social Security Number?
  8. Our insurance provider uses the SSN to track claims through their system. Providing your SSN at the time of registration is voluntary but will speed up the processing in the case of an insurance claim.

  9. Am I covered if I play softball in a non-USA/ASA league?
  10. No, your insurance coverage is provided as a benefit of your USA/ASA softball membership.  However, you are covered if you participate on an ASA team in a non ASA event.

  11. When is my coverage in effect?
  12. Coverage begins when your local USA/ASA representative receives the required information and payment and continues through December 31st of the current year.

  13. I have a large league with many players. What is the easiest way to get you the required information?
  14. We offer three ways for you to supply us with the information. 1. We can provide you with "bubble" forms that you would have each person complete when they sign-up with your league. 2. If you already have the information in a computer, we can work with you to give us the information via disk. As long as the required fields are there and we can import the data we will give you a 25-cent per name discount for providing the information via 3.5 floppy disk. 3. Make a photocopy of your league sign-up form and send it to us with payment.

  15. What do we do if a person quits the league after we submitted the information and payment to you?
  16. Once submitted, the registration and insurance may not be cancelled. If your league issues refunds to the player that leaves make sure that you deduct the cost of the registration and insurance from the refund amount. When you receive the registration card for the person that left, mail it to them as it is still in effect.

  17. I am registered as a youth coach and have the $250 deductible medical policy. I also play on a USA/ASA slowpitch adult team. Am I covered when I play?
  18. No, your coverage is specific to what is was issued for and in this example, is only in effect for your coaching activities with the youth team.

  19. When do I start sending in the information and payment?
  20. As people sign-up with your league/team send in their information and payment. At the beginning of the season, once a week is fine. This allows us to keep up with the volume we handle at the beginning of the spring season. This will be an ongoing process for you throughout the year as you add players or coaching staff. Remember the registration and insurance is not effective until your local ASA representative has received the required information and payment.

  21. How will you know how many teams we have?
    We only allow one manager per team so when we count the number of managers, we get the team count. Everyone else on the coaching staff needs to be listed as either a coach or assistant.
