Hello, anyone here nakapag pamedical na may ubo or sipon? Will it be better na not sick pag nagpamedical?

Yes, best to reschedule. Sa SLMC strict sila na if may ubo yung patient hindi ichecheck up ng doctor. Pababalikin ka.

Hi, we’re onshore so we had ours scheduled with Bupa. If chronic colds and flu nag request for GP clearance. Hindi naman kami hiningan kanina and dirediretso lang din. Si husband yung may sipon and he got cleared.

Hello po, last April 5 po kami nagpamedical sa St. Luke's Ermita and until now, naka "Examinations in Progress" pa din ang status ng Health Assessment namin sa Immi account, though ika 2nd working day palang naman today since matapos ang medical namin dahil nag holy week break na after. Mga ilang days pa po kaya bago mag update ang status?

And dun po sa mga nag email sa St. Lukes for a follow up, ilang working days after ng medical nyo po sya ginawa?

We recently found out we are pregnant, very early at 5 weeks, so OB didn't approve chest xray. OB gave us a medical letter stating our due date and to defer xrays.

Naka-schedule kami sa NHS Makati on the 18th pa. Anyone with had the same experience? Anxiety lang what will happen. Will it affect our visa approval and our medical process?

Hello ulit!

Mas mura kasi ng 1200 ang IOM (7250) compared to SLMC BGC (8450) for PR Visa medical.
Parehas silang cash only basis, kay SLMC kailangan mabayaran mo muna yun reservation slot within 5days para mabigyan ka ng confirmation slot pero kay IOM same day ang bayad.

Any feedback sa IOM vs SLMC? Wala pa kasi akong makita sa forum na feedback nila.

Sa SLMC Ermita, same day payment and they accept credit card. Quite interesting that the BGC clinic is not the same.

Pano po yung same day payment sa SLMC Ermita? Sa website po kasi after pumili ng date, need na din magbayad via security bank kasi 5days lang marereserve sayo yung schedule.

Mine took 5 working days. 5-7 working days ang usual na TAT na binigay naman nila, altho BGC branch ako. If wala pa rin after that, you can email aupanel (check the SLMC Medical Visa website for contact info).

Parang wala na nga po yung same day payment option sa SLMC.

Hello, we finished our medical from Bupa. The doctor commented that delayed yung child ko with speech. Can it be a reason of refusal or delay?

Common naman ang delayed speech sa mga families na bilingual. IMO this will not affect your application in any way.

Bale sa Bills payment po kasi sa Security Bank app eh nasa list ng billers yung St. Luke's Extension Clinic. DI ko lang po sure kung paano pag ibang online banking app ang gamit kasi chineck ko yung RCBC and Landbank online app ko, wala yung SLEC sa list of billers eh.

When ka po nagpamedical? Been deferred since last year. I had to do my Chest xray thrice, did sputum and culture test. My 3rd xray was Apr13 - and all negative naman. Naghihintay na lang po ako ng result or hopefully clearance. It's so stressful to wait cos wala rin akong history of TB.

Mukhang overly sensitive sa st lukes ah. IF may ibang option might as well try other clinics.
