Prime America Medical Source.


Hello to everyone!

I just want to ask if anybody here has availed of the services of Prime America Medical Source. I am planning on processing my visa screening through them. They charge a 500 peso fee which they said is for affiliation. I compared it to another company and the charge is 3500 for the processing. Do you think there's something fishy about the low charge?
Would appreciate your feedback on this. Thanks.

What sort of visa screening are you looking at? If for the US then you can do it directly with ICHP

I am apprehensive about doing it on my own because I might miss out on something. I understand that I'm supposed to send several letters/forms to licensing bodies? Does that include the office where I took my local board?

It is very easy to complete and many do so without using an agency. I would check CGFNS website out and look at the VSC handbook as it explains it all there on what to do

on the website of CGFNS you'll see the FAQ's part and they also give tips to prevent commiting errors specific to the service you'll avail.

I have knowledge about prime america cause I graduated 2006 and become an affiliate and on top of that they helped my sister too who is also a nurse and my parents last 1997 and now working and staying in Hemet,California. I paid 350 that time as an affiliation fee and I get helped from them everytime I would like to process something that I don't know. I think for me 500 is still a small amount ...to the information I can avail with all of the services that they offer.

I did process my nclex application with them last week and I was the one who paid actual cost and buy my own bank draft.. they just assist me with the right information from the start and what to expect next and the next process. they even called me up long distance and text me with the update so i think what I am paying with them and my family experiences are all worth it.
