USCIS Civil Surgeons
South Windsor + Rocky Hill
Usually 1–2 day scheduling
Typical completion in 7–10 days

All paperwork must be completed within 1 month of the exam otherwise it will result in an additional exam change as the medical history will need to be updated again to ensure the most accurate information is submitted at the time of the paperwor signature.

What to expect

A two-part immigration exam process

The first part is identifying the needed items and completing the exam, while the second part is following up on any tests or remaining needs and completing the paperwork. Exams can usually be scheduled in 1–2 days and are often completed in 4–7 days unless abnormal labs delay the process.

Payment method: Credit or debit only.

The Process

A straightforward path from exam to sealed paperwork.

Step 1

Book your exam

Appointments can be booked up to 8 hours before appointment slot.

Step 2

Bring the required documents

You’ll bring passport, records, vaccine history, translations if needed, and an interpreter if you do not speak English.

Step 3

Complete follow-up and pickup

Follow-up usually happens within about 4–10 days and paperwork is prepared in a sealed envelope once requirements are complete.

Insurance

Helpful insurance information before your visit.

Most insurances do not cover Immigration Exams because they are not considered “medically necessary” and are purely being done for immigration purposes.

We do have cash-based pricing if you choose not to use your insurance for labs. Here are codes your insurance may ask for if you want to know whether they will cover the labs.

Primary Diagnosis Code
Z02.89 Encounter for other administrative examinations (Immigration medical exam)
Secondary Diagnosis Codes
Z11.3 Screening for infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission
Z11.1 Screening for respiratory tuberculosis
Z11.9 Screening for infectious disease, unspecified
Z11.7 Screening for latent tuberculosis infection
Z86.19 Personal history of other infectious and parasitic diseases
Z11.59 Screening for other viral diseases
Z01.84 Encounter for antibody response examination
Common CPT Lab Codes
86480 Quantiferon TB Gold – Blood Tuberculosis Test
86592 RPR – Blood Syphilis Test
87591 GC RNA, TMA – Urine Gonorrhea Test
86735 Mumps Antibody Test – Immunity Check
86762 Rubella Antibody Test – Immunity Check
86765 Measles (Rubeola) Antibody Test – Immunity Check
86787 Varicella (Chickenpox) Antibody Test – Immunity Check
86317 Hepatitis B Surface Antibody – Immunity Test

These CPT codes are approximate examples. Final CPT codes are ultimately determined by the laboratory performing the testing.
