Sports Physicals
What is a sports physical?
A pre-participation physical examination is a yearly check-up for junior high and high school student athletes that clears them to play a sport for the following season.
What happens at a sports physical?
We identify any potential risks to your student's health by checking vital signs, vision, muscle and skeletal development, as well as gathering information on mental and physical health history, medications, immunizations, and more. All of this helps us check that your child will be able to play their sport(s) safely.
Insurance and sports physicals at MCFM
Health insurance does not pay for a sports physical, but each child is entitled to a wellness examination once per year. Some insurance requires this to be 366 days form the last wellness visit and some insurance only requires it to be a different calendar year. Parents should find out before scheduling, as the costs are different.
​
The sports physical can be a part of the wellness exam, but it entails more detail than the sports physical paperwork requires and can include immunization review as well.
