FINANCIAL POLICY
Thank you for choosing Bridger Veterinary Hospital Inc. Our primary mission is to deliver the best and most comprehensive care
available for your pet. Prompt payment for services and products is expected at the time of service. Whenever possible, we will
provide an estimate of the anticipated charges for your pet's care, however, please be aware that our estimate is just that - an
estimate. Diagnostic tests or a change in your pet's condition may necessitate changes/additions to your pet's treatment plan,
consequently increasing the cost of care. If your pet is hospitalized and costs will appear to significantly exceed our estimate, we
will make every attempt to contact you to discuss treatment options.
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
Making the cost of optimal care as easy and manageable for you as possible is part of our mission. Since Bridger Veterinary
Hospital Inc requires payment in full at the end of your pet's visit and/or at the time discharge ,we offer several payment options.
You can choose from:
- Cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express
- Convenient monthly payment plans from ScratchPay. ScratchPay allows you to begin treatment today and pay
over time and is available for any treatment amount (subject to credit approval).
DEPOSIT & BILLING
For some treatments or hospitalized care, a deposit may be required. Generally, treatment plans estimated at $500 or more
will require a 50% deposit in order to begin your pet's treatment, with the balance due upon completion of services.
ADDITIONAL POLICY INFORMATION:
Bridger Veterinary Hospital Inc charges $30 for returned checks. The check must be replaced with cash or credit card
payment within 3 days of notice, along with the $30 fee. For clients with pet insurance, we are happy to provide you with the
necessary documentation to submit a claim to your insurance carrier. If you have any questions, please do no hesitate to ask.
We are here to provide the best veterinary care available for your pet.
For 2 or more pets scheduled on the same day, we require a deposit of $50/pet for surgeries and $10/pet for appointments.
Deposits must be paid within 7 days of scheduling the appointment. If a deposit is not received within this time frame, the
appointment will be forfeited. If an appointment is kept, the deposit will be applied to the visit total. Any charges in excess of
the deposit are due at the time services are rendered. If an appointment is canceled with at least 48 hours' notice, the
deposit is fully refundable. If an appointment is canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice or is a no-show, the
deposit will be retained in full as a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee is not refundable and cannot be applied to future
services. An additional deposit will be required to schedule a new appointment.
We reserve the option to offer an in-house 90 day payment plan on a case by case basis when all other financing options have
been exhausted. We will charge $10 billing fee and a monthly finance charge that will accrue at 1.5% interest on all outstanding
balances older than 30 days. Balances not paid as agreed will cause the account to be relinquished to a collection agency or
pursue in Small Claims Court.
By signing below, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the foregoing terms of payment.
