Payment is due at the time of service for routine visits and outpatient care. If you have questions about payment arrangements for a specific situation, please don’t hesitate to speak with our front desk team.

Deposits for Comprehensive Care

For treatment plans estimated at $200 or more, or for any care that requires your pet to be admitted to our hospital, we require a deposit of 50% of the estimated cost before treatment begins. The remaining balance is due in full at the time of discharge.

We understand that unexpected veterinary expenses can be stressful, and our team is here to walk you through estimated costs before treatment begins so there are no surprises. Transparency about pricing is something we take seriously — because we want you to feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Outstanding Balances & Collections

To keep our practice running smoothly and our focus where it belongs — on your pets — we ask that account balances be addressed in a timely manner.
Accounts with outstanding balances older than 60 days are subject to a 1.5% monthly interest charge
Accounts 90 days past due may be referred to a third-party collection agency

If you’re facing difficulty managing a balance, we encourage you to contact us as early as possible so we can work together to find a solution.

Returned Check Policy

A $25 fee is assessed for any returned checks. If you have concerns about a payment, please reach out to our team before your appointment so we can discuss alternatives.

CareCredit

Whether it’s a routine checkup or emergency surgery, you shouldn’t have to worry about how to get the best medical care for your pet. That’s why we’re pleased to accept the CareCredit healthcare credit card, North America’s leading healthcare financing program. CareCredit lets you say “yes” to the best treatment for your pet immediately and pay for it over time with monthly payments that fit easily into your budget.

Highlights of the CareCredit Program:

  • Extended Payment Plans
  • Interest-Free for 6 Months
  • Quick & Easy Approval
  • Immediate Access to Funds
  • No Annual Fee

Pet Insurance

We strongly encourage pet owners to explore pet insurance as a way to help manage the cost of both routine and unexpected veterinary care. While Brewer Veterinary Clinic does not bill insurance carriers directly, we are happy to provide you with the itemized documentation needed to submit a claim to your insurance provider.

If you’re considering pet insurance and aren’t sure where to start, our team can point you in the right direction. Pet insurance policies vary widely in terms of coverage, deductibles, and reimbursement rates — so we recommend researching options and enrolling your pet while they are young and healthy, before any conditions are diagnosed, to maximize the benefits available to you.
