Dear Brooks202,I can't say what the doctor may or may not accept or reject, but here's what happened to me: I have a serious chronic condition and a few less serious conditions. Because of some of these I had to have some extra blood tests (did my exam 1/22/19)--which increased the cost unexpectedly.
The doctor told me (actually came to find me in the blood lab on the other side of the building) that because of my health issues I would be graded "B". From what he told me you are graded "A" if you have no notable health conditions and graded "B" if you have health conditions. But that as long as these aren't communicable diseases or something that it was not a concern because my request form says "EDE" (Excessive Demand Exempt, as someone else has address above). The doctor said he does the same exam and same additional tests (if needed) for any immigration medical exam, even if you are "EDE".
So, it took 2 weeks to get medical passed, but that finally showed up in my account yesterday (2/5/19). Nothing really new with this story, but I was worried and didn't need to, so maybe hearing my experience will help you worry less (or at least worry less about passing, although extra cost on the medical could be an issue)
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It definitely comforting to read your msg. I have booked my Medical Exam for Thursday, 14 Feb 2019. Hoping for the best. Will keep you posted on the final outcome of my Medical Examination.
Thanks again. God Bless you.
