Coverage of travel
medicine services by payers is still sporadic and varies by
plan. Travel medicine is fully covered by some insurance plans,
while others will only cover a limited number of travel medicine
services, if any. Patients should contact their insurance carriers
to determine if travel medicine services are covered by their plan.
Many travel clinics have opted not to participate with insurance
carriers and, instead, only accept payment at the time of service.
The amount travel medicine clinics charge for their services depends
many factors, including your travel destination. Our current
as of January 30th 2009 are subject to change without
notice.
Some forms that you will need to fill out for your visit, even if this is a follow up appointment:
1) The Travel Medicine Program Form
3) The Travel Medicine Financial Responsibility Form
