Your Miami Springs immigration physical questions, answered

What does the TB screening involve?

TB screening is usually a simple blood draw (an IGRA test). If it comes back positive, the civil surgeon orders follow-up such as a chest X-ray before finalizing your form.

Does health insurance cover the immigration medical exam?

Coverage is the exception, not the rule, for the exam fee. Vaccines are occasionally billable to insurance, so it is worth a call to your plan before paying out of pocket.

Do I need to stop eating or taking medication beforehand?

No fasting is required. Eat and drink normally, take your regular medications, and bring a list of them to the appointment.

Why can't any doctor sign Form I-693?

A civil surgeon is a doctor specifically designated by USCIS to perform immigration medical exams and complete Form I-693. Your regular doctor cannot sign this form unless they hold that same designation.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

Follow-up items such as TB confirmation are recorded on the form, and the doctor explains what happens next. Sealing waits until everything required is complete.

How is the required vaccine list decided?

There is no single list for everyone — the civil surgeon applies CDC age-based requirements to your documented history. Bring whatever records you have and the gap gets identified at the visit.
