 |
|
Do any Americans have any tips for reducing the cost of the medical tests required for the work visa? The last time(last year) it cost over $2,000. I am changing employers and must do the tests again. Any help is appreciated.
I thank you kindly. |

| I have insurance through Blue Cross & Blue Shield and the doctor was able to have it categorized as a medical necessity as I have not had a physical for a few years now. I haven't received any billing statement yet. I am hoping that I do not have to fight with the insurance company. This is the usual routine with insurance companies here in the States. |

Your employer should be paying for it.
In my three different contracts my employer paid for it. |

Some employers offer full or partial reimbursement while others do not. Either way, the employee has to cough up (no pun intended) the costs up front, which can be a financial strain for some. |

|

HI there,
I'm trying to get all my paperwork ready as well. Which medical form are you using? I saw there are two versions.
Also, did you have to order all your degrees/diplomas again or can they be copies of the certified ones? |

There's only one med form to choose from according to the embassy's site for US residents. I suspect you're asking about the med form and degree authentication for another country. If so, you may not get a response on this thread since it's specific to Americans and unfortunately, the process and forms for each country seem to vary. You might try this thread, "2 medical report forms - which is it,"
