Telford Veterinary Hospital Financial Responsibility Policy
Our primary mission is to deliver the best and most comprehensive veterinary care available for your pet. An important part of the mission is making the cost of optimal care as easy and manageable for our clients as possible by offering several payment options. Telford Veterinary Hospital requires payment in full at the end of your pet’s examination and/or at the time of discharge.
Payment Options:
Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, Discover Card® or CareCredit®
Deposit & Billing:
Certain treatments, health care plans and hospitalized care may require a deposit in order to begin your pet’s treatment. For any hospitalized care, medical procedures or treatment plans with an anticipated cost exceeding $500.00, a 50% deposit will be required. In-house financing options are not available in light of the No Interest option that CareCredit offers. An 18% APR is charged on all outstanding account balances older than 30 days. With accounts 90 days past due, Telford Veterinary Hospital reserves the right to relinquish balances to a third party for collection.
Pet Insurance Policy:
Telford Veterinary Hospital is not affiliated with any pet insurance companies. We require full payment from our clients at the time services are rendered. Should you, our client, choose to seek reimbursement from an insurance carrier, we will supply you with the documentation you request to support your claim. Our team is not responsible for filing or submitting insurance claims on your behalf.
