Why do you need a physical exam? Didn't you already complete your medical at St. Lukes?

Providing a new response for an old topic .  .  . 

 

My now husband had his physical done in England in March of 2018.  He was missing one MMR which he received in England but after his immigration physical was completed.  While all of the literature seems to indicate that we only needed vaccine transcription on the I-693, we could not find any civil surgeons in the Indianapolis area who were willing to do this.  

 

I called several offices listed on the registry.  Some civil surgeons had retired, others had resigned.  I had two calls that quoted me in the $450-500 range.  Both said labs would be extra.

 

I finally had luck with Community Hospital's MedCheck in Castleton.  Dr. Sajiv Alex was the civil surgeon we used.  The cost of the exam was $220 which included the baseline labs needed for the physical.  My husband had received the BCG vaccine in England as a child and reacted to the TB skin test that was placed at the new physical, so we also had to pay for a chest x-ray 48 hours later at a cost of $84.  We had previously provided the clinic the CD of his x-ray from England, but they said they could not read it.

 

My understanding from reading through other VJ stories from Indianapolis is that there is a MedCheck in the Speedway area that also does immigration physicals (west side of Indy), so I would anticipate the pricing would be the same there.
