Sports physicals may not be covered by all insurance plans because they are often considered separate from routine preventive care. Coverage varies, so check your benefits or call Urgentology Care in Arlington or Colleyville before your visit to ask about payment options.
A parent or legal guardian must provide the consent required for a minor's examination. For UIL medical history paperwork, both the student and a parent or guardian must sign the required form. We recommend that a parent or guardian attend the sports physical and complete their section of the paperwork before arriving.
No. A sports physical focuses on whether a student can participate safely in athletic activities. A routine pediatric wellness checkup also addresses growth, development, preventive screenings and recommended vaccinations. A sports physical does not replace regular preventive care.
UIL requires physical examinations at certain stages of school athletics, including before junior high participation and the first and third years of high school. School districts may require physicals more frequently, including annually. Check your school's current participation requirements and approved forms before scheduling your visit.
“Heard about this place through a friend and decided to give it a try even though I live 25 min away. It was a great choice because the nurses and doctor were very attentive and cared to listen to everything I had to say.”
