Insuring your pet's health

     Health care costs are constantly rising for both pet and human health care.  Veterinary medicine is in a unique time period with a huge explosion of cutting edge diagnostics and technologies entering into day to day practice life.  Our goal at Midlands Veterinary Practice is to provide pets access to the best medical care availabe, either through us primarily or through referral to board certified specialist.  We feel that all pet owners should investigate obtaining pet insurance as a means of countering some of the costs of health care for our pets.  Pet insurance is similar to human insurance in that you can choose various amounts and or types of coverage to carry.  There are extensive lists of conditions that are covered by pet insurance as well.  Pet owners should understand pet insurance does not typically have co pays, as human insurance does.  Initial payment will still need to be made, and the receipt of services, along with a explanation of the treatment from the providing veterinarian are then submitted to your insurance company for approval and subsequent payment for the amount covered.  There are multiple pet insurance carriers in existence, and we encourage you to investigate several different ones in order to find the plan that best suits you and your pets.  Veterinary Pet Insurance and Trupanion are the two we commonly discuss with clients.
