Teenagers may require physical for employment
Is your teen going to work? Most employers require a physical. If your teen has had a
physical within the last year, you simply need to drop off the employer's paperwork and
pick it up three days later. Your child's primary care manager will complete the paper-
work without an appointment!
However, if your child requires a physical, it is best to schedule it before he or she starts
the job hunt.
To schedule an appointment, call 772-2778 or visit https://www.tricareonline.com.
