Policy & Procedure

  • After you authorize a Treatment Plan, medical care will be initiated. The obvious exception to this policy is a patient with life-threatening injuries that require immediate medical care. By bringing your pet into our facility and requesting medical treatment you are assuming financial responsibility. The charges will be estimated for you as soon as your pet is stabilized.

  • A deposit is required for all hospitalized patients at the time of their admission to the hospital. The deposit amount, equivalent to the low end of the estimate, will be applied to the final invoice total. All balances are due at the time of your pet’s discharge.

  • Because we are an emergency/critical care facility, it is our hospital policy to receive payment at the time of treatment. ASECB accepts cash, MasterCard®, Visa®, Discover®, and American Express®.

  • We do not offer any delayed billing but we do accept CareCredit. This credit plan offers convenient monthly payment options to help you accept the Treatment Plan recommended for your pets. If you do not already have an account with CareCredit, we will be happy to assist you with the application.

Why are costs at a Referral Center higher than a Primary Care Veterinarian?

  • Like with the human medical field, Veterinarian specialty care costs and facility operating costs are typically higher than primary care facilities. We always strive to maintain the lowest possible fees in all aspects of the practice.

  • Since emergency facilities are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year the daily operating expenses are at least THREE times higher than operating a primary care facility.

  • State-of-the-art medical and imaging equipment are costly and require constant maintenance and frequent upgrades.

  • 24-hour staffing of a referral facility is a major expense. It is our goal to provide the highest quality of care, utilizing the best-trained veterinary personnel available. A veterinarian and a full complement of staff are always on-premises. Our veterinary team examines the patient and makes recommendations for care that are in the best interest of the patient. Unlike most referral veterinary practices, our entire veterinary team receives salaried compensation and no production-based compensation is given.

  • Continuing Education for all of our staff is a critical component so we may continue to offer your pet the very best care and services available.

  • Please note that our treatment plans are all-inclusive, offering the most comprehensive care for our patients. When comparing treatment plans received from other facilities, pay close attention to the details, making sure that both plans include the same services.
