High Focus Centers is now offering school clearance letters (also known as “fit-to-return” letters) for students who need them to return to school. And this service will help families avoid the long unpleasant wait in an emergency room. We take commercial insurance for this service, but families may self-pay. The self-pay rate is $350.
