Does anyone on here have experience with any of the following:
1. Cost of the immigration medical
2.Does medicaid cover it?
3. What tests are required?/ If they require vaccines that you already did will you have to retake them?
4. At what point do you need to do the medicals?/ Can they be done before the time?

The medical is valid for one year. I would send it with the GC application. Here in NYC it cost me $200 and unfortunately medicaid or health insurance does not cover it. You will have to do the PPD test for TB, HIVE test, Syphyllis test and any vaccines which you can not show proof of. The whole thing will take about a week if all the test come out normal.
 
I paid $135 for the Medical exam (in Rockville, Maryland) eight days ago. They do a Tuberculosis (TB) test and HIV. They also required proof of MMR and Tetanos vaccines.
It can cost much more if you were not vaccinated (or can't prove it) or if they have to do a chest X-ray because of a positive TB test.

Hi I also live in Maryland. I need a medical exam. May I ask which doctor you you went and will you recommend it? Thank you.
 
the best thing is to check the USCIS website and find the certified doctors in your area. then calling a few of them and figuring out who charges the least. I ended up only paying 85 bucks for the entire thing in downtown Los Angeles! Bu then again, I had proof of having had a lot of the vaccines!
 
Does the money order for I-485 need to come from a bank or will a postal money order be accepted as well? Does anyone have experience paying with postal money order?
