Important Information on Sport and School Physicals!

Summertime usually means rest and relaxation, but for many parents it means getting their children prepared for the upcoming school year.  This can come in the form of receiving required “sport” or “school” physicals necessary for participation in the fall.  However, most insurance companies will only cover one physical per year, which can end up being costly for parents whose children now need another specific sport or school physical.  At the Harrisonburg Community Health Center, we will be charging a flat fee of $35 for physicals that are not covered by insurance.  Payment will be due at the time of visit, regardless of insurance or sliding scale status.  We feel that no child should have to sit out this fall, so be sure to schedule your child’s physical or well child checkup (WCC) plenty of time beforehand so that they can continue to stay involved in their sport of school community.
