Travel Vaccines

Vaccines are covered by most healthcare options at 50%, however travel vaccines are NOT covered by the Chambers Group Plan. 

All vaccines must be paid for upfront. 

  • Regular vaccines will be reimbursed 
  • Travel vaccines will not be reimbursed 

You must submit an extended healthcare claim form along with your supporting documents to our claims department for reimbursement. 


You can apply to have vaccines that are classified as travel vaccines covered under these circumstances: 

  • If an employee or their dependent is working somewhere where it is medically advisable to receive the vaccine (such as a correctional or healthcare facility) 
  • If an employee or their dependent has a medical condition that causes their doctor to recommend that they be immunized 

In both circumstances, you would pay out of pocket and then submit a claim form with the receipt and a letter from your employer and/or doctor stating that they require you to be vaccinated. 


Some doctors/clinics charge a fee for administering vaccines. These fees are not covered by the plan, you you will not be reimbursed for the cost. Please ask your doctor beforehand if there will be a fee to administer the vaccination so there are no surprise charges. 

Vaccines are an eligible expense for Cost Plus
