A criticism/controversy of doctors who work in professional sport is that generally they are paid by their team which creates a potential conflict of interest between the best interests of the team and the best interests of the long-term health of the player (patient). The management of on-field concussion is a particular area of controversy, with club doctors given both responsibility for player safety and accountability. Individual doctors working in professional and elite sport have been publicly criticised or accused of helping clubs cover up drug use or poor behaviour of players or engaging in such behaviour themselves. It is not known whether the professional sport environment is associated with a higher rate of poor medical practice or whether the high public profile of sport leads to accusations being publicly made far more often in Sports Medicine than in other fields.

Medicare in Australia had a bulk-billing rate of only 9% in 2018–19, which is the lowest for any type of specialist under Medicare in Australia. A typical cost for consultation was A$ 225 in 2018–19, of which only $ 73.85 was refunded by Medicare, leaving patients $ 151 out of pocket. A recent review of Medicare has recommended that SEM consultation rebates for SEM physicians increase to achieve parity with other specialist physicians (p 29-37), although no response to this review has been made yet by the Department of Health. The other traditional specialties of medicine in Australia have been accused of creating a "hostile environment" stopping sports medicine from being recognized adequately under Medicare over the last 20 years.

All applicants for the inaugural FACSP qualification had to show the equivalent of current practice in sports medicine and pass an exam, which first took place in 1991.
