Prepare for Your Visit

Medical Chaperones

Beginning July 1, 2023 the Oregon Medical Board requires that providers offer patients the opportunity to have a trained medical chaperone available for sensitive exams.

Medical chaperones are trained to know what to expect during an exam and are there to ensure patient and provider safety. A chaperone is offered for your comfort, but you may choose to decline to have a chaperone present. Please speak with your healthcare provider if you have questions about a sensitive exam or the use of a medical chaperone.

Preparing for your visit: Immigration Medical Exams

Before non-U.S. citizens can be approved for an adjustment of status, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires a medical exam, commonly called an INS physical but officially named the USCIS Immigration Medical Exam. This exam must be completed by a government-authorized physician known as a Civil Surgeon.

Mosaic provides INS physicals for any non-U.S. citizen, regardless of whether you are an established patient or which state you live in.
