Travel Medicine Charges & Payments
Charges
Please refer to the
Schedule of Fees for appointment and vaccination costs.
Payments
- Payment is due in full at the time of service.
- Check, debit card or credit card is preferred.
- Dr. Corboy may be listed by your insurance as a "preferred provider" for routine
healthcare services; however, Travel Medicine services are exempt.
- You will receive a receipt for your visit for use in filing your own insurance claim.
Insurance
If you plan to submit your Travel Medicine receipt to your insurance company for
reimbursement, please be advised of the following:
- Travel Medicine consultations are "nurse visits" and are not reimbursed by insurance.
- Vaccines may or may not be reimbursed. Reimbursement is determined by the type of
insurance coverage you have and if your policy covers "preventive" care.
- We recommend you contact your insurance company before your appointment to determine
your coverage for Travel Medicine services (including preventive prescription medications
for malaria and traveler’s diarrhea).
- If you are a member of an HMO, your insurance may have a "preferred provider" for
Travel Medicine services. In this case, you will need to be seen by the preferred
provider to qualify for reimbursement.
- Medicare does not cover Travel Medicine services.
- Baylor Travel Medicine does not file insurance.
- Baylor Travel Medicine is unable to be in contact with your insurance company.
- If you submit your Travel Medicine bill to your insurance company for reimbursement,
be sure to clearly indicate that any reimbursement due is to be paid directly to
you. If your insurance company erroneously sends the reimbursement check to Baylor
Travel Medicine, Baylor Family Medicine or Dr. Corboy, the check will be mailed
back to the insurance company, delaying your reimbursement.
