What Are the Requirements of an Immigration Physical?

An immigration physical requires the physical exam itself which will either need to be paid for by the patient or covered by their insurance plan if they have one. The immigration physical also requires the completion of mandatory blood tests to be performed at a lab as directed by the civil surgeon, with payment being made directly to the lab, proof of completed and up-to-date immunizations, or an order to get the immunizations completed as per the immunization schedule and a varicella zoster antibody, if needed. You will also need to complete forms for your medical history and any current medications you are taking. The doctor will also want to review any symptoms you currently have and discuss any past or present communicable diseases you have had.
