Why should you refer your patients to Passport Health?
Physicians know better than anyone that prevention is the best medicine. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending more and more routine immunizations for patients here at home. In addition, 20-70% of travelers may be exposed to a variety of pathogens and risks. Passport Health is a national organization and is the largest purchaser of vaccine in the country, second only to the US Government. We, therefore, can keep our prices low and our patients protected. Passport Health maintains a complete stock of every vaccine necessary for travel, school, wellness, immigration & naturalization, bio-defense and military readiness.
Expense, Expired Vaccines, Liability
There’s no need for you to endure the expense of multiple vaccines, only to give a small number before the expiration date. Insurance reimbursement often does not cover immunizations for travel, and may not adequately cover routine immunizations. In addition, Passport Health has found that keeping up with changes in travel medicine and adequately counseling and immunizing patients is too time-consuming for most busy physicians. We spend an hour educating patients on vaccines, food and water precautions, protection from insect-borne illnesses, diarrhea and malaria prophylaxis, and providing hard to find supplies. Your exposure to liability is minimized, and you can be confident your patients will get the advice and immunizations they need.
Vaccines for Travel and Routine Immunizations
Passport Health wants to partner with you to ensure the only things your patients bring back from vacation are souvenirs and memories. In addition, we want to provide your patients with the increasing number of routine immunizations recommended by the CDC, such as tetanus, Pneumovax, Gardasil (HPV) and Zostavax (shingles). There’s no need for you to stock up on and administer these vaccines. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff can educate and immunize your patients for you and send you a record of the vaccines given.
