Take charge of your health, starting with VWell

  • Without health insurance, even basic care in the U.S. can be prohibitively expensive. We know that many Americans are struggling financially and don’t feel they get adequate attention from medical providers. VWell™ Trip is created to be a more affordable and worthwhile alternative, with transparent, upfront pricing and payment plans that makes it easy to budget.

  • Routine checkups and diagnostics in the US can still come with a high out of pocket cost if your insurance plan has a high deductible. You will find that the entire VWell™ Trip will be comparable or cheaper than your annual deductible.

  • Paying with cash or tax-advantaged accounts like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)? The VWell™ Trip is a perfect option for those who want to leverage these payment methods for more affordable healthcare. There are portions of the VWell™ Trip that you can use HSA for. To find out more information about how to use your HSA account on the VWell™ Trip, check out this article

  • Some prefer to keep their health data out of insurance records. By taking advantage of the VWell™ Trip, you can enjoy healthcare outside the traditional insurance system, adding an extra layer of privacy and control over your health information. For the record, we at VacayWellness don’t see your medical records either!

  • The VWell™ Trip is best for individuals who typically only need medical services to prevent disease and monitor any health changes. These are typically people who would get medical, dental, and vision care once a year.

    **** It’s important to note that the VWell™ Trip is NOT intended for those with chronic health conditions, individuals who need frequent doctor visits, or those with specific ongoing medical needs.

  • Giving you access to high quality, safe medical care is our top priority. We only partner with hospitals that have Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCI) , which is a US-based qualification. If a hospital has JCI certification, it means that their services are of the same standard as a medical institution in the US. At VacayWellness, we will only be sending you to JCI accredited medical institutions.
