Information about School and Sports Physicals! This year IACH will have limited ability to accommodate school and sports physicals due to furlough and budget constraints. We are doing all we can to accommodate all requests, but these hints may help! 1) School Physicals are only required once, upon entry to the Kansas School System. -If you use school physicals as a yearly physical for your healthy child, you may consider waiting until the school year has started so those that need a physical in order to start school can get in. -If you need a school physical and cannot get in here at IACH, school physicals are a TRICARE covered benefit and can be done at any facility that accepts TRICARE. Be advised some of these facilities may involve co-pay. 2) Sports Physicals are good for one full year and are only needed if your child or teen will be participating in sports with your school district or with Child Youth Services. -if your last Sports physical was done less than 1 year ago you have a full year to obtain a re-examination and may be able to wait until after school starts. For example if your child obtained a sports physical in January 2013, your new Sports Physical is due January 2014. -Sports physicals are NOT a TRICARE-covered benefit but can be obtained for a minimal fee in the local community. ------------------------ The following are just some options available through agencies in the community, but you can call any agency for details on their availability and any applicable billing or fees.
