IMMIGRATION PHYSICALS:

Immigration examinations are required by the Department of Homeland Security for all persons applying for change to their legal status. Dr. Gary DiCanio is a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) designated civil surgeon licensed by the government to perform Immigration Physicals. The Immigration Physical/Medical requirements are as follows: (1) A complete physical examination by a USCIS designated civil surgeon which includes vital signs, tuberculosis testing (PPD testing), syphilis testing and age appropriate vaccines, and (2) a chest x-ray only if you are PPD positive. The cost of the immigration physical is $245.00. If vaccines are required, there will be an additional charge of $25.00 per vaccine administered. All fees are due at the time of the initial visit. All required blood work will be drawn at a local commercial lab, and if a chest x-ray is required we will recommend a radiographic diagnostic facility. Blood work and radiographic services are not included in the above fee. Once the medical requirements are satisfied, we will complete the required I-693 form. The turnaround time for the entire process is between one and two weeks.  Due to the time needed for the examination and completion of clinical paperwork, an appointment is required. Because there is a substantial overhead cost related to the examination and preparation of documentation, payment must be received in full, or the I-693 report will not be released. Health 1 Medical will contact you to pick up the final I-693 report. Please ask for Peter Gioia, Operations Manager for more information.
