Finding the right civil surgeon near Glen Cove

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in New York. A regular family doctor in Nassau County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the New York civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Around Glen Cove, expect a base exam fee of $200 to $500 before vaccines and labs. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Nassau County frequently offer Spanish, Haitian Creole, Korean and Italian. Because Glen Cove is a compact city, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby Sea Cliff or Bayville.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

A virtual pre-consult lets Glen Cove applicants review documents and vaccination records online before the required in-person exam — useful if your nearest office is in Sea Cliff or beyond.

Before you book in Glen Cove: quick answers

What does the TB screening involve?

Expect a blood test for TB as part of the exam. Most results are clear; a positive simply triggers a follow-up step like a chest X-ray before sealing.

Can we book the exam as a family?

Yes, each family member applying needs an individual exam and form. Offices commonly book families together in one block, so ask for consecutive slots.

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

The sealed envelope goes to USCIS with your application, or to your interview if USCIS asks you to bring it. Follow the filing instructions for your specific case — and never open it.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Glen Cove?

Budget $200 to $500 for the base exam near Glen Cove. Your final total depends mostly on which vaccines and tests you still need — that can add $300 or more.

Will insurance pay for any part of this?

Most health plans treat the immigration exam as a non-covered service, though some cover the vaccines involved. Check with both the office and your insurer before the visit.

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

A sealed Form I-693 is valid for a set window from the signing date under current USCIS policy. Because these rules get updated, verify the latest guidance for your case.
