Preparing ahead for the 2013-14 School Year
• PIAA sports pre-participation requirements:
As a result of collaboration between the PIAA Sports Medicine Committee, PIAA Board and the PA Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the following serves as guidance for medical professionals completing the PIAA CIPPE effective June 1 for the 2013-2014 school year:
The CIPPE shall be signed/dated no earlier than June 1st and shall be effective, regardless of when signed during a school year, until the next May 31st.
Regardless of the timing of the complete physical exam and prior to signing a CIPPE, the medical provider must review the completed and signed parent/student sections of the form with particular attention to Section 5: Health History.
This medical evaluation may then be completed in either of the following ways:
1. A face-to-face encounter on/after June 1st
OR
2. A complete review of the medical record within the medical home including review of specialist and emergency department reports AND
A complete physical exam (including appropriate musculoskeletal exam) within acceptable guidelines for preventative care AND
If indicated by any concerning information noted upon review of above (including, for example: abnormal BP, recent injury without appropriate follow-up/clearance), recalling the patient for an appropriate face-to-face encounter with exam prior to certifying the student for participation.
• The PA Dept of Health has a new physical exam form for school students effective January 1, 2013. Note that parents must complete and sign the 1st page of the form (health history) before giving the form to the clinician to complete and sign.
