Travel
Please email your travel itinerary along with vaccination history and current medication list to our office at [email protected] for Dr. Welton to review before your appointment
We encourage you to plan ahead. Travel vaccines should be administered 4-6 weeks prior to your trip. This allows time for you to receive travel vaccines that must be administered in a series.
Call us at (772) 299-7009 and speak to a receptionist.
We prefer to schedule you at least one week in advance of the time you need to come in for your appointment. This gives us shipping time if we need to get your vaccine in stock.
Unfortunately, most insurance policies do not cover travel vaccinations. Under certain circumstances, your insurer may cover for certain preventive medications. We can provide you with a detailed statement that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Getting reimbursed is not a guarantee and this process is between you and your insurance company, not with our office.

New patients should bring all insurance information, identification cards and an allergy and medication list. You should arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment in order to complete the necessary paperwork and allow time for staff to create a new chart for you.
Your doctor needs to know about all the medications you take, even if you do not take them all the time. These medications include prescription drugs, over-the-counter (non-prescription) drugs, vitamins, herbal remedies or supplements, laxatives, and eye drops. Make sure your doctor knows how much you take and how often you take each medication.
Your description should include what the symptom is, when it started, when it occurs, how long it lasts, how often you have it, and anything that makes it worse or better. Try to be as specific as possible.

Billing
Yes, once we have received a response from your primary insurance, we bill your secondary insurance for you.
New and established patients are always required to pay their co-pay at the time of service. If you do not have a co-pay, but are required to meet a deductible with your insurance carrier, you should provide evidence that your deductible has been met and be prepared to pay the coinsurance due. If your deductible is not met, you will be expected to pay for the office visit plus any infusions that may be done.
