Civil surgeons in Florida
Florida's green card applicants are concentrated in South Florida and Central Florida, where many civil surgeons offer bilingual English–Spanish exams.
If you file Form I-485 inside the United States, you need a medical exam from a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. The results go on Form I-693. In Florida, most applicants live in South Florida or Central Florida, and our directory covers Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale so you can find a doctor close to home.
Many clinics in these areas serve Spanish-speaking families, so ask about language when you call. You can also confirm any doctor with the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool. Some applicants also hire an immigration lawyer for complex cases. Our Florida listings make both easy to find.

Green card medical exam in Florida: FAQs
How soon should I book my Florida medical exam before filing Form I-485?
The civil surgeon must sign your Form I-693 no more than 60 days before USCIS receives your Form I-485. Since December 2, 2024, USCIS generally wants both forms filed together, and a filing without the I-693 can be rejected. Book early, because blood test results often take a few days to two weeks.
What does a green card medical exam cost in Miami or Orlando?
USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon sets their own fee. Total cost commonly ranges from about $200 to $500 or more, depending on the city, lab tests and how many vaccines you need. Health insurance often does not cover it, so ask for the full price when you call.
What should I bring to my civil surgeon appointment in Florida?
Bring a government photo ID such as your passport, your vaccination records, a list of current medicines, past chest X-ray results if you have them, and payment. The civil surgeon gives you the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope. Do not open it. Send it to USCIS exactly as you received it.
