Our goal is to deliver the finest, most cost effective health care treatment available today. Following evaluation, the doctor will advise you of our plan for treatment. Additionally, we will discuss with you the cost of today's treatments and the estimated cost for any anticipated future treatments. We are sensitive to the fact that it may be difficult to pay cash for your pet’s tests and treatment. Therefore, we offer several payment options for your convenience.
Payment Options:
Cash or Check- We use TeleCheck Electronic Check Processing; this requires a valid driver’s license. By paying by check, you authorize us or our agent to use information from your check to process a one-time Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or a draft drawn from your account, or to process the payment as a check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an EFT, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day you make your payment and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution. If your payment is returned unpaid, you authorize the collections of your payment and a return fee of $30 by EFT(s) or draft(s) drawn from your account.
MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express
CareCredit® Healthcare Credit Card with 0% interest options- This is a healthcare credit card that allows you to make payments over time. If you do not currently have this credit card you may apply in the office. Two forms of identification are required from the applicant(s), one of which must be a current driver's license, picture state identification or military identification card. After your application is processed, you will receive a CareCredit® card in the mail that can be used anywhere that accepts this form of payment. Billing will be made directly by CareCredit® as with any credit card company. Please ask a VSEC representative for more information if you are interested in this method of payment.
The following CareCredit® promotional plans are offered at VSEC:
Transactions over $200- interest free for 6 months if you pay the balance in full by the 6th month.
Transactions over $1,000- 24, 36 and 48-month extended plans are available with fixed monthly payments at 14.9% from the date of transaction.
Transactions over $2,500- a 60-month extended plan is available with fixed monthly payments at 14.9% from the date of transaction.
With all of the above listed plans, if you are not able to pay the balance in full within that time or do not pay the minimum monthly payments, the cardholder agreement interest rate begins to accrue from the date of purchase.
Payment Policy:
Outpatient- Payment is due when the services are rendered.
Admission- A deposit equal to 75% of the total estimated cost of treatment is required upon your pet's admission to the
hospital. For extended hospitalizations, you will be contacted by the financial department and asked to bring your invoice
up to date and/or make additional deposits if fees accumulate beyond your initial estimate. The final balance for all
services provided is due when your pet is discharged from the hospital.
Identification- We require that your driver’s license number be kept on file for identification and current or future check
payments. We ask for this documentation upon your first visit to our hospital so that it may be placed in your record.
