From Chennai Consulate Website FAQ
Q: How do i arrange medical exam?
A: In consultation with the U.S. Public Health Service, we have expanded our panel physician program in Chennai. Applicants may choose whichever of these designated physicians is most convenient for them, though all applicants must first have tests performed at Lister Laboratory. Applicants may choose whichever of these designated doctors is more convenient for them. At the time of the scheduled medical examination, the designated doctors will require that everyone present a valid passport, the original visa appointment letter, and four (4) recent identical color passport-sized photographs. Applicants must make all arrangements for medical examinations, tests, and vaccinations with the doctors directly.
The medical exam should occur after the laboratory tests and be at least two working days before the IV appointment. Please telephone the doctors during
working hours and make an appointment. Bring the completed laboratory results with you. The completed medical reports, which will be given to you by the physician, must be brought to the consular section of the Consulate General at the time of your visa interview.
The fee for the medical examination is as follows:
>Rs. 450 for general physical check and administration of vaccinations
>Rs. 600 for initial laboratory tests (fees up to Rs. 3300 if additional tests are needed)
>Rs. 3450 maximum for vaccinations
The fees must be paid in cash directly by you to the laboratory and the doctors. If further tests are advised by the doctors, you must be prepared to undergo them and pay the related costs.
Normally, children under 15 years of age are not required to undergo chest x-rays, blood tests, or the HIV anti-body test, but they must undergo immunizations and a general physical examination.
The medical reports are valid for a period of one year from the date of your medical examination. The examination must be repeated if the reports have expired or will expire prior to your entry into the United States.
