Immigration Physical FAQ for Upper Moreland Township

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

The civil surgeon documents any required follow-up on Form I-693 and walks you through next steps. The form is only finalized once requirements are met.

What shots do I need for Form I-693?

USCIS follows age-based vaccine requirements set by CDC guidance. The exact list depends on your age and documented history — the civil surgeon determines what applies and can administer missing doses.

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

Each applicant requires a separate exam and sealed form regardless of age. Booking the family in one visit is usually possible and saves trips.

What should I budget for the exam in Upper Moreland Township?

Around Upper Moreland Township, the exam itself usually costs $200–$500. Vaccines, titers, and TB testing are billed on top, so incomplete records raise the total.

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.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

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