To make things easier for families, the Intermountain Butte Flats Clinic is offering sports physicals to students for $35.

Sports physicals are normally covered by insurance, but the clinic is offering sports physicals for a flat fee of $35 to keep the service affordable for everyone, even those without health insurance.

Intermountain Butte Flats Clinic caregivers are reminding parents and students to schedule their appointments now because they often see a last-minute spike in requests, and there may not be availability to get in before the upcoming sports seasons start.

“Even though kids are normally healthy without major issues, an annual sports physical is vital to make sure there aren’t underlying health problems,” said Micaul Mcclafferty, PA-C, a physician assistant at the Intermountain Butte Flats Clinic. “The annual appointment is a great time to answer any questions for athletes or their parents about how to stay healthy during the season and avoid injuries.”

The Montana High School Association requires a physical for all student athletes once a year in order to take part in organized sports.
