“It makes common sense just like taking out insurance when you travel.” Yeah, that is exactly what I tried to do before my last trip to Bali and Java. Then my health insurance, claims the Hep and Typhoid and cholera vacines are for travel and not covered. I tried to explain that my plane ticket is for travel, the vacines are for my health. This is an HMO which mean health maintenace Organization. Don’t they want to maintain my health? I went checking for the prices for the shots and was staggered. The Hep was about $185 per shot and I needed three. Even the county health group wanted 120 per shot. I found a new clinic that gave them for $76. I got that and then the next ones in Ubud for only about $20. I also just gave up on some.
