There is
Dear Colleagues,
In Holland we used to charge patients privately, because travel
vaccinations are - in our esteem - not included in the 'care' contracts
with the insurance companies.
Recently we were amazed by the opinion of insurance companies that travel
vaccinactions are 'care' and as such are included in the contract. charging
patient for travel vaccinations is considered by them to an economic 'crime'.
The last word has not been said about this. I will keep you posted.
