Hello everyone!

I am expecting to get my request for medical examination every day now. Normally, I would just take it at the panel physician in my home city.

But seeing as I will be out of the country for a month or so, I will probably have to take my medical examination outside my home country. Not a big deal - I know that I can choose any panel physician anywhere in the world.

But the question I haven't found an answer to is: What if I need an additional medical exam for extra tests after my first one? By the time I get the request for additional testing, I will be back home and can't use the same panel physician that I used for the exam in the first place.

Does anyone know, if that is an issue?

I called my local panel physician if he can do additional examination without him being the one that did the initial tests and his response was "I do not know. Probably not. I think. Not sure."

This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but you have thirty days to do the medical, so if you're going to be out of the country for a month, the only way you would need to get the medical done outside of the country was if you got your request literally the same day you were leaving the country. Otherwise you can get it done beforehand or after you get back. Now I don't know what "a month or so" means, if you are going to be gone multiple months then the situation is different.
