Medical Travel Accommodation Listing

On occasion patients are required to travel to out of town locations to obtain specialist and outpatient medical services. Patients are often accompanied by one or more family members who provide support and comfort to the patient.

Rooms are made available subject to availability. Properties are paid directly by the patient or family member and billing arrangements are made between the patient or their family and the property, subject to the property’s usual payment terms. Properties may require a letter from physician in order to access these rates.
