BayCare and United Healthcare have a new agreement! For more information: KeepBayCare.org
Starting with the 2026-27 school year, a Florida mandate under the Second Chance Act requires an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) screening for all first-time high school athletes in grades 9-12. This screening must be performed before students can compete in school athletics. Returning athletes aren't required to have a screening but are encouraged to do so.
Sudden cardiac arrest is the top cause of death in young athletes, often occurring without warning. Rare but severe heart issues may be missed early on, but some can be found with an EKG screening.
BayCare offers multiple locations for EKG screenings, so schedule your screening before the new school year. To make an appointment, call (877) 537-4787 and select option 3.
Screening results will be sent to the ordering provider with a recommendation for next steps. Patients will be notified of the results via phone or mail within seven to 10 business days.
