Information
Sports physicals, formally called preparticipation physical evaluations (PPEs), are commonly required by schools, athletic leagues, and organized sports programs. The examination helps determine whether a child or teen may safely participate in a particular sport or activity. Requirements may vary depending on the school, league, or governing organization. Please bring all required forms and information about any sport-specific examination requirements. A sports physical is a limited examination and does not replace routine pediatric or primary medical care. It may identify concerns requiring further evaluation, but it cannot detect every current or future medical condition or guarantee against illness or injury.

GUARDIAN DETAILS
A parent or legal guardian must be present for every examination. Friends, relatives, and other adults who are not the child's legal guardian cannot provide consent, complete the health history, or accompany the child during the examination. The parent or legal guardian is responsible for completing and verifying the health history and signing the consent required for the examination. One parent or legal guardian may be present in the examination room. A copy of the completed examination form will be provided to the parent or legal guardian at the end of the examination.

Disclaimer
A sports physical is a limited pre-participation examination performed to help determine whether a child or teen may safely participate in a particular sport or activity. The examination is based on the health history provided, the physical examination performed, and any requirements or forms supplied by the school, league, or governing organization.
A sports physical is not a substitute for routine pediatric or primary medical care and is not a comprehensive diagnostic examination. It may not identify every existing or future medical condition, and clearance does not guarantee that an illness or injury will not occur during participation.
Complete and accurate health information is required from the child or teen and the parent or legal guardian. This includes relevant medical conditions, previous injuries, current symptoms, treatment, therapy, medications, and substance use. Incomplete or inaccurate information may prevent the examiner from making an appropriate clearance determination.
If a potential health or safety concern is identified, Paramex may defer, limit, or decline clearance until additional records, testing, or evaluation by the child’s primary care provider, pediatrician, specialist, or other treating provider is obtained. Paramex does not provide ongoing primary care or treatment and does not bill insurance for sports physicals.
Medical information and examination results will be maintained and disclosed in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Records may be released with proper authorization or when otherwise permitted or required by law.
