How our surgical estimates, admissions, insurance claims, and payment options work in practice.
While we offer fixed pricing for procedures such as TPLO, patellar luxation, and arthroscopy, complex fracture repairs, spinal surgery, and deformity corrections depend heavily on individual patient factors. Patient weight, fracture configuration, implant requirements, diagnostic imaging, and theatre time directly influence the surgical plan. Examining your pet and reviewing radiographs first allows us to provide an accurate, itemised written estimate.
Instead of paying the full surgical invoice upfront and waiting weeks for your insurer to reimburse you, these platforms assess your claim in real time before you leave the hospital. Once approved, your insurer pays their covered portion directly (or loads it onto your digital Fetch card), and you simply pay the remaining gap.
Our written estimates provide an expected cost range prior to admission. If advanced diagnostic imaging or intraoperative findings uncover something unexpected that alters the surgical plan, Dr Mark Tonzing will phone you directly to discuss options and costs before proceeding.
Yes. For planned orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures, advanced imaging, and inpatient hospital care, a deposit is requested upon admission, with the remaining balance settled at the time of discharge.
We recommend applying for VetPay pre-approval online prior to your consultation or surgical admission morning so your account is active, approved, and ready to use at discharge.
