Back-to-school or pre-season? Palm Coast Family Practice completes school entry exams, sports physicals, and camp physicals in a single visit — most done in 20 to 30 minutes. Walk in any day we’re open and leave with the signed form in hand.
Florida law requires a School Entry Health Exam (Form DH 3040) for every student entering kindergarten and for any student new to a Florida school district. The form must be signed by a licensed healthcare provider and dated within the 12 months before the first day of school.
Every middle-school and high-school athlete in Florida must complete the FHSAA Preparticipation Physical Evaluation annually before tryouts or practice. The form has two parts:
Both must be signed and dated within 365 days of the athlete’s first practice of the season.
Tip: Fill out the parent and athlete history section at home before the visit. It speeds things up considerably — and occasionally surfaces a family history detail worth discussing with the provider.
We also complete:
Bring whatever paperwork the school, camp, or organization provided — we’ll take it from there.
If your child needs both a school physical and a sports physical, we can complete both during the same appointment. The two exams overlap heavily, and there’s no reason to make two trips. Just bring both forms.
Three easy ways to book:
Most sports and school physicals take 20–30 minutes from check-in to walk-out.
Office hours: Monday–Friday: 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM Saturday: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Heads up on timing: The weeks before school starts (late July through early August) and right before fall, winter, and spring sports seasons are our busiest. Walking in early in the morning, or booking ahead, will get you in and out faster.
The FHSAA EL2/EL3 form is valid for 365 days from the date it’s signed. Your athlete will need a new physical each school year.
Yes — the two exams overlap significantly. Bring both forms and we’ll complete them together.
One FHSAA physical per year covers all sports your athlete plays within that 365-day window. You do not need a new exam for each season.
We can update most routine immunizations during the same visit. Bring the shot record if you have it — otherwise we can look it up through Florida SHOTS.
Yes. Many plans cover school and sports physicals as part of an annual well-child visit. We accept most major plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Florida Blue, Florida Healthcare Plans, Medicare, Oscar, and Tricare.
For patients under 18, yes — a parent or legal guardian needs to accompany the child and sign consent. Older teens can complete the visit independently with a signed consent form on file.
Yes. In the vast majority of cases, the form is completed, signed, and handed to you before you leave.
