Corporate Clients
For corporations, there are legal pressures to provide safe and healthy travel for employees. OSHA requires employers to provide a safe and healthy environment for workers whether it is in an office, a factory, or on an international business trip. Companies who fail to provide accurate advice on recommended immunizations, and precautions for preventable disease at the foreign destination can expose travelers to needless risk, and may expose the company or organization to legal liability. In addition, an illness during an international business trip can compromise the effectiveness of the trip. Passport Health can relieve your business of this liability, and help your employees have safe and productive international travel.
Employees traveling internationally are susceptible to a wide range of diseases and illnesses. Most diseases can easily be prevented through education on safe food and water practices, advice on current health alerts, precautions regarding mosquito borne illnesses, and by appropriate immunizations.
Productivity is especially important when you're traveling internationally. Lost time due to unexpected illness or injury can seriously disrupt the schedule on any trip, and be difficult to recover. We have worked with both large and small corporations to insure their employees remain safe and healthy during their trip. Because we are international specialists, we can teach you how to avoid the dreaded traveler’s diarrhea, which anti-malaria medications are resistant at your location, and provide tips to insure your personal safety, specific to your destination.
We spend up to an hour with each patient evaluating their itinerary, type of travel, accommodations, time of the year, length of stay, type of activities, medical history, and WHO health alerts. Using our proprietary software and data base, we can quickly make recommendations for safe practices and immunizations that meet all CDC guidelines. Very few family Doctors have the time or resources to economically duplicate the services we provide, and fewer still want to stock seldom used vaccines such as Yellow Fever, Rabies, and Japanese Encephalitis.
Following a counseling session with our Travel Nurse, our clients are prepared to avoid or deal with any health issues they will encounter at their destination, because we don’t just vaccinate, we educate!
A group of five or more individuals traveling to the same destination qualifies for our on-site service. Passport Health will provide travel consultation, immunizations, and travel medication or prescriptions at your location for your convenience. There's no extra charge for on-site service during normal business hours, for businesses located in the local area.
We know that people who are moving overseas or going abroad for months at a time face special risks. Passport Health understands the dangers of long-term exposure, and we offer specialized services to travelers who are planning an extended stay overseas. Passport Health will assess overseas healthcare facilities and recommend plans for medical care and treatment on location.
Passport Health also provides travel/medical/evacuation insurance plans for your convenience, since many corporate insurance plans do not cover international travel. You never have to provide your name or a credit card number to get a price quote based on your individual itinerary. When you are ready to purchase the insurance, you can purchase it quickly on-line using your credit card on our secure site. This is important since international evacuations can easily cost $20,000-$30,000, and providers often want payment in advance. For a small daily fee, your employees and your organization will be covered for any emergency.
Passport Health offers the most convenient way for you to protect your employees, increase productivity on expensive international trips, and reduce your liability.
We are primarily Travel Specialists, but we also offer on-site services such as flu clinics, and wellness clinics, that are most effectively offered by a vaccine specialist.
At Passport Health, our mission is to provide the very best travel health education and immunizations at a reasonable cost. We know that not all diseases are vaccine preventable, and not all threats are from diseases, therefore...We Don’t Just Vaccinate, We Educate!
