Yes, many stateside insurance plans provide coverage in the U.S. Virgin Islands. St. Thomas & St. Croix Cancer Specialists work with a wide range of private insurers, including plans from providers like Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Elan. Medicare is accepted as well, though patients must also apply for Medicare Part D. If you’re uninsured or paying out of pocket, we offer financial support options — including grants and assistance programs — to help make care more accessible.

For more details on how your specific plan may apply, we encourage Miami patients to review our Insurance FAQ or reach out to our care team directly.

No passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Because the USVI is a U.S. territory, the trip is considered domestic. You should still travel with a valid government-issued photo ID to streamline check-in and airport security.

Yes, you can use your U.S. driver’s license to travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands, as it's considered domestic travel. However, as of May 7, 2025, the TSA requires that your license be REAL ID-compliant. If your license doesn’t meet this requirement, you’ll need an alternative form of identification, such as a U.S. passport or a DHS Trusted Traveler card like Global Entry.

Travelers without a REAL ID may still be allowed to board domestic flights but should expect additional screening and possible delays. To avoid travel issues, it's best to check your ID status before your trip and arrive early if using an alternate form of ID. You can find up-to-date information regarding these policies at tsa.gov.
