The cost of an immigration medical exam can vary significantly depending on your location, the civil surgeon you choose, and what additional vaccinations you may need. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of what you can expect to pay in the Los Angeles area.
What Affects the Total Cost?
The total can include the civil surgeon's examination fee, age- and history-appropriate laboratory testing, vaccination needs, immunity testing, chest X-rays, and any additional evaluation that is required.

Additional Vaccination Costs
USCIS requires applicants to be up-to-date on certain vaccinations. If you need any of the following vaccines, they are available at our office at these costs:
| Vaccine | Cost |
|---|---|
| MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) | $165 |
| Tdap / Td (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) | $100 |
| Varicella (Chickenpox) | $250 |
| Hepatitis B | $120 |
| Influenza (Seasonal Flu) | ~$50 |
| Polio (IPV) | $80 |
| Pneumococcal | $310 |
The vaccines you need depend on your age, medical history, and existing vaccination records. Not every applicant will need all of these vaccines, which is why bringing your vaccination records is so important.

- Medical history review
- Mental health status evaluation
- Age- and history-appropriate laboratory testing under current CDC instructions

Tips to Reduce Your Total Cost
Here are some practical ways to keep your immigration medical exam costs as low as possible:
Bring Your Vaccination Records
This is the single most effective way to reduce costs. If you can prove you've already received required vaccines, you won't need to pay for them again. Contact your previous doctors, pharmacies, or your home country's health department for records.
Use Insurance for Pre-Exam Vaccines
Coverage varies by plan, network, age, vaccine indication, and benefit design. Ask your insurer whether any needed vaccines are covered through your primary care doctor or pharmacy before the immigration exam.
Compare Total Costs, Not Just Exam Fees
Some clinics advertise low exam fees but charge significantly more for vaccines and add-on services. Always ask for the total estimated cost including any vaccines you may need to get an accurate comparison.
