Center for Healthy Living to offer $30 sports physicals

Sports physicals are available at the Center for Healthy Living for $30 for dependents covered on a Purdue medical plan. For added convenience, faculty and staff may use their PayFlex debit cards to pay for the sports physical from their health savings account (HSA) or health care flexible spending account (FSA).

Sports physicals are not eligible on the Purdue medical plan, so they won't count toward the employee's deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.

"Everyone getting a sports physical will need to bring the required IHSAA form to the appointment," says Millie Fenneman, practice administrator at the center.

Call 49-40111 to make an appointment. If the sports physical will be the child's first visit to the center, Fenneman recommends filling out the patient intake form in advance and bringing it to the appointment. 

"Remember, a sports physical does not replace an annual preventive exam for your child with his or her regular pediatrician," Fenneman says. "It’s in a child’s best interest to get both.”
