Medical clearance is a standard procedure required in order to play a sport, attend a certain school, join a fitness program, start a new job, before surgery, etc.

 

A medical clearance usually consists of a doctor's visit where your medical history is reviewed, a physical exam, and any needed testing is ordered. 

 

If you are cleared and healthy enough to participate in the activity you desire, the doctor will provide the medical clearance necessary to move forward. 

 

For surgeries, keep in mind that the decision about whether to proceed with the operation belongs to you and the surgeon.

 

Your medical clearance exam is going to be similar to a regular physical exam, but will also be tailored to the needs of the specific Medical Clearance purpose. 

​

Process - Written authorization must be obtained for special service, nonemergency situations, or requiring pre-authorization.

 

Pre-authorization is also required for procedures and second surgeries listed for the Mid and lower back, Neck, Shoulder, Knee, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and Non-Acute Pain
