Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP.

Immigration Physical FAQ for South Fayette Township

Can I use my insurance for the 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.

What is the difference between a USCIS designated civil surgeon and my regular doctor?

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

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.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

If further testing or treatment is needed — for example a TB follow up — the USCIS civil surgeon notes it on Form I-693 and explains the next steps before the form is finalized.

Can I do a virtual green card medical exam in South Fayette Township?

No exam can be completed entirely online. The virtual pre-consult handles document review and preparation; the physical exam and sealed signature must happen in person.

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in South Fayette Township?

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