NCAA student-athletes who need a banned medication use this form in two situations: a medical exception pre-approval (MEPA) before practicing or competing on certain drug classes, or a medical exception request after a positive drug test. The treating physician signs, and the school attaches the diagnostic evaluation, treatment history, dosage and follow-up orders.
A college or university representative completes the school, athlete and medication fields and the continued-use checkbox. The student-athlete's current treating physician prints name, specialty and office address and signs.

NCAA Medical Exceptions Documentation Reporting Form
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

A medical exception pre-approval. The NCAA requires schools to obtain it, through the RSRO system, before a student-athlete practices or competes while taking anabolic agents, hormone and metabolic modulators, peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances or mimetics. This form and medical records support the request.
For stimulant exceptions after a positive test tied to ADHD treatment, the NCAA provides a separate Medical Exception ADHD Documentation Reporting Form listing ADHD-specific documentation. This general form covers pre-approvals and requests for other banned medications.
No. The form states that prior approval does not mean a MEPA will be automatically renewed. Continued-use requests are checked on the form and resubmitted through RSRO with an updated diagnostic evaluation, treatment history, medication and dosage, and follow-up orders.
