Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Island Doctor a staffing agency or insurance company?
No. Island Doctor is an educational website and directory that connects island residents, visitors and expats with independent traveling doctors and nurses, and connects doctors and nurses with island travel opportunities — we don't employ, insure or dispatch anyone ourselves.
Do island doctors and nurses accept insurance?
Some do and some are private-pay only — it depends on the specific provider and your plan, including whether your insurance covers care outside your home country or state. Confirm coverage with the provider and your insurer before a visit.
Can I get care without traveling off the island?
Often yes — many of our providers offer telemedicine visits for routine care, prescription refills and follow-ups, in addition to in-person visits.
How do doctors and nurses get travel assignments through Island Doctor?
Providers interested in travel assignments can list for free or hold an exclusive referral territory; island opportunities and recruiting information are shared directly, not through an automated job board.
What should I ask before an island doctor or nurse visit?
Ask about the provider's license and where it's valid, whether they accept your insurance or are private-pay only, what a visit costs, and how follow-up care works if you leave the island before you've fully recovered.
Are providers licensed to practice where they see patients?
Medical licensing requirements vary by country, territory and U.S. state, and any provider who treats you must hold valid licensure where you're being treated — ask about their license and credentials before an appointment.
How do doctors and nurses receive referrals?
Providers can list for free, or reserve an exclusive referral territory — a ZIP code, a state, or everywhere else — so that patients and travelers in that area who ask for help are connected to them.
