Why should I visit the International Travel Clinic?
Each year, millions of people travel to destinations throughout the world including South America, the Middle East, Asia, Mexico, Latin America and other exotic locations. Whether you

What does a travel appointment involve?
The travel appointment includes an educational session with the provider to discuss your travel destinations, itinerary and individual needs. Travel hazards and risks of infectious diseases are
explored in detail and recommendations for protective vaccines and medications are presented. The result is a highly individualized travel prescription to promote your safety and optimize your
travel experience.
How much does a travel appointment cost?
The fee for an educational session is $100 for one person and $50 for each additional person in the same appointment.
Will insurance cover the cost of the appointment?
Patients are responsible for payment of the educational session, which is due at the time of service. We are happy to submit bills for vaccines rendered to the following insurance providers:
Aetna, Anthem, CIGNA, First Health/HCVM, Great West/One Health, Harvard Pilgrim, MVP, Martin’s Point Health Care, Medicaid, Medicare, Tri-Care and United Healthcare. If payment from your
insurance provider is not received within 30 days, the balance is your responsibility. For your convenience, we accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express.
Do I need to visit the travel clinic if I am planning a trip to a
resort location in Mexico or the Caribbean?
Yes. Certain vaccinations are strongly recommended for travel to Mexico and the Caribbean. In addition, there is risk of malaria in some (but not all) resort destinations.
Do I need to visit a travel clinic if I am going on a cruise?
Cruise ships, though generally safe, have a number of risks, which we address during the educational session.
If I have previously been overseas and never came back with an illness, do I still need to visit the travel clinic prior to my upcoming trip?
Yes. Prior experience is no guarantee of future results!
Do young children and elderly travelers require any special prevention measures?
Our travel educational sessions are individualized to meet each person’s particular needs. Both young and old travelers have particular, special needs, which we are experienced in
managing.
