Pre-Participation Physicals

Get Kids Ready for Any Activity with a Wellness Exam 

Whether your child needs a sports physical, summer camp clearance, or just an annual wellness check, we’ve got you covered. An annual wellness exam helps ensure your child is up to date on all healthcare needs. Most insurance plans cover wellness exams at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Why Choose a Wellness Exam? 

Students who participate in sports, camps, band, cheer, or other activities should have a current wellness exam on file to meet health and safety requirements. In fact, if your student is in high school, Texas UIL rules require a completed Certificate for Athletics to be on file in the school’s athletic training room before they can participate in tryouts, practices, scrimmages, games, or matches.

With a wellness exam, your child may also be able to get their pre-participation physical signed at the same time. Please check with your clinic to confirm.

Convenient Locations and Options

Schedule your child’s wellness exam at any of our UTMB Health Pediatric Primary Care clinics. For seasonal sports physicals, visit one of our Urgent Care locations.

If your child only needs a pre-participation physical and it isn’t covered by insurance, we offer it for a flat rate of $38.
