What to Expect an Immigration Medical Exam
Also known as a green card medical exam, patients will need to be prepared for this exam.

Our team will help guide the patient through the process and address any concerns they have. We can answer any questions during the exam, as well.
According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, an Immigration Medical Exam will include:
- Review of the patient’s medical history
- A skin test and chest X-ray for tuberculosis
- Blood test for syphilis
- Ensuring the patient has the necessary vaccinations
After reviewing the patient’s medical history, we will also need to review any current conditions the patient is struggling with. We will then conduct the X-rays and blood tests. Following the exam, we will go over the results and verify the patient’s health.
What You Need to Know about an Immigration Medical Exam
During this exam, we will need to verify the patient does not have certain communicable diseases. If the patient has what is classified as a communicable disease, then they will not pass the medical examination. Communicable diseases are infectious and transmissible diseases that are easy to pass between people.
The CDC explains that communicable diseases that will cause a participant to fail the exam, include:
- Syphilis

- Tuberculosis
- Cholera
- Smallpox
