What do I need to know about Sports Physicals?

To clear up any misconceptions, if your child is insured (nearly all commercial insurance and Medicaid), a sports physical is covered as part of a well exam. There are no out of pocket expenses for well exams such as copays or deductibles SO THEY ARE ALREADY FREE. In addition, any existing health issues or questions can be addressed. If any issues are found on other so-called free sports physicals, they are typically referred back to the primary care physician rather than being addressed at that time, costing your family time and money. For patients without insurance, we offer low cost sports physicals but with the same level of service.
