My wife got her medical done and received on December 20 and I believe that the appointment was set one week in advance. They did not ask her for the funds for it nor have they ask for it yet but that does not mean they will not ask for it when it comes time for her to receive her visa.
My wife went in February and they didn't ask any money also.
I asked her to go to immigration and ask for PRE as it costed 400CUC before and they dont need the PRE anymore since the new law in January 2013. Since they were making 400CUC with the PRE before
and cubans dont need PRE anymore, maybe they ask for the 400CUC with the medical now ?
No need for PRE and Carta Blanca anymore, cubans are free to travel as soon as they have a valid visa !
Sometimes its hard to have a straight answer, I remember asking questions and getting opposite answers from different people.
