Frequently asked in New Albany

Does a follow-up finding delay my form?

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 long does the immigration physical take near New Albany?

Most exams take 30 to 60 minutes. It can run longer if you need catch-up vaccines, a TB blood draw, or extra review of your medical history.

Are missing vaccination records a problem?

Missing records are common. The doctor can run titer tests to prove immunity or simply re-administer required vaccines. Flag it when you book so extra time is set aside.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

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.

Will insurance pay for any part of this?

Usually not for the exam itself — it is not considered medical treatment — but vaccine costs are sometimes covered. Ask your insurer and confirm what the office can bill.

How is tuberculosis tested during the exam?

Applicants generally take an IGRA blood test for tuberculosis. A positive result leads to follow-up, typically a chest X-ray, before the form can be completed.
