Can I use insurance for the $50 sports physical?
No. Insurance does not cover stand-alone sports or camp physicals. These are always $50 self-pay.
What’s included?
Basic exam (height, weight, vitals, heart, lungs, vision check) + one required form.
What’s not included?
Vaccines, labs, chronic care, or treatment for new concerns. Those require a separate visit.
What if my child is due for a check-up?
Book a preventive well-child exam instead since insurance covers it, and we’ll complete the sports form at the same time.
What if a problem is found?
Your child may need a follow-up visit before clearance can be given. That visit can be billed to insurance.
Can siblings be seen the same day?
Yes. Families can schedule siblings back-to-back, and additional forms are discounted.
