SCHOOL AGED PHYSICALS

School-aged physicals are available at the medical group for the upcoming school year. If schools require a special form, patients must bring it with them to the appointment. Parents must also bring a copy of their child’s shot records. In order to get an appointment at the medical group, patients must be enrolled for care with Little Rock Air Force Base medical clinic. Those enrolled to an off-base provider must see them for care. Patients being seen off-base who would like to enroll at the medical group to take advantage of this service can stop by the Tricare Service Center.

Note: For individuals who have completed well appointments recently with normal results, the SF600 signed by the provider used during this visit can be used for the purpose of the physical. However, if a particular form is needed by the school, please drop it off at the Pediatric front desk. It will be processed and patients will receive a call back when it’s ready for pick-up.

For children who will participate in a sports activity or needs a school-aged physical, it is best to schedule early to avoid a possible delay as appointments are based on provider availability and mission requirements.

Patients can book their sports physical online at www.tricare.mil. Make sure to select the “school physical” visit reason.

If an appointment can’t be located online, call the appointment line at 987-8811.

Walk-in physical days are offered in the afternoons at the Family Health/Pediatric Clinic on the following days: June 7, July 19, 26, August 9, 16, and Sept 20, 27. Hours are 1 – 3:30 p.m.
