Player Insurance
Player Insurance
We as an association believe it is vital that all players should be covered when it comes to injury and the cost of relevant treatment.
Therefore we have scoped the market and secured a policy through our insurance partners that protects players when it comes to both short term and long term injuries.
Surgeries and MRI costs are high and can sometimes be difficult for a club or player to afford.
Our policy offers affordable monthly rates for injury protection and help give clubs and players peace of mind
- Professional & Amateur Injury Policy; For all players on Pro and Amateur Contracts playing full time or part time for surgeries, scans, injections and physio up to £9k
Our policy covers players for Personal Injury and Medical Expenses and includes up to £300 per month salary contribution when unable to work.
If you are a club or player wishing to enquire you can click here to register for a direct quote or contact info@pfani.com and we will provide full details.
We also understand that when it comes to recovery players need treatment ASAP. Therefore we have negotiated preferential timeframes for surgeries and scans with two renowned private hospitals – Ulster Clinic and Kingsbridge and with Sports Medicine NI for consultations and physio.
It is important to get you treated as quickly as possible and a speedy recovery period is vital to your future career.
Clubs and players can pay the insurance premium monthly.
***Players and clubs should be aware that the cost of scans and surgery are deemed by the medical providers as “self funded” This means that if the insurer deems the injury as not something they can cover, then the cost of any medical procedures must be covered by the player or their club. The insurance covers injuries caused by an event, (sudden, unforeseen and identifiable occurences) “Wear and tear” injuries are not likely to be covered.
As with all insurance policies it is not guaranteed that the policy will pay out and we recommend contacting the insurer or the PFA in the first instance to gain an understanding on whether the injury is typically covered.***
