Hello fellow VJ Members,

I read somewhere that children below 15 yrs. old dont have to have x-ray but only TB skin test. My kids are 12 and 8.

I woul appreciate if someone can share their experience on this ff . questions:

1. WHere or what bank should the Medical fee be paid for?How much in Philippine PEsos?

2. How much is the visa delivery fee?

3. Is there a way we can just go to SLEC to have the kids medical done in advance? They dont have the appointment letter yet? If so what do we have topresent to the guard at SLEC?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Will chest x-rays be required?

• Children younger than 15 years old will not need a chest X-ray or serological test unless required by the doctor, but will instead undergo a Tuberculin Skin Test.
• According to the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), chest X-rays for pregnant women are not dangerous if taken with the proper shielding.
• If you have had previous X-rays, please bring them along for a comparative study.Medical Examination Fee:
  St. Luke's Medical Center Extension Clinic (SLMCEC), the Embassy's accredited medical facility, charged U.S. $213.35 for adults (15 years and older) and U.S. $185.35 for children (under 15 years of age) for the medical examination fee.
  SLMCEC does not accept credit card or dollar payments. The fees must be paid in Philippine pesos at the prevailing exchange rate.
