No - we are an outsourced service partner that allows veterinarians to easily create, manage, and market wellness plans. If a practice were to build and manage their own plans in-house, create and print professional brochures, create their own exam-room posters, build a website, hire additional personnel to manage a monthly billing system, and collections, they would spend infinitely more than $29.95 a month and still wouldn’t have the assurance that they would be paid for all the services that they rendered through their plans. This has been the absolute largest misconception about what we are here for.

For the client, on a short-term basis, they get to know in advance what type of a care their pet needs to stay healthy and how much it will cost. Long term, their pet is healthier, and they save money by paying for these packaged services with a low monthly payment vs. a large one-time fee. For the veterinarian, the short term value is they save time and money by jump-starting their plans. We make offering wellness plans cost-effective, and easy. We provide professional marketing materials which include brochures, exam-room posters, and a website. We also provide plan templates to help the veterinarian get started. We provide an advanced online wellness dashboard where they can monitor the performance of their plans, enroll new clients, communicate with their clients, edit their website, edit their profiles, order additional marketing materials at no charge, and get customer support. The long-term benefits are increased client loyalty, increased compliance, a leveling of cash-flow, an increase in revenue, a decrease in operational overhead, and the ability to compete with the large national chains that offer wellness plans to their clients.

A wellness plan is an affordable package of services that includes a complete array of necessary care designed to help pets live longer through proactive healthcare.

Pet Wellness Plans Pro has a $199 setup fee and $29.95 a month recurring fee. This is a flat fee per practice location and does not change based on the number of plans your offer or the number of clients enrolled.

No – we simply add a small Pet Wellness Plans maintenance fee to the client’s monthly payment. This does not change regardless of the plan price you dictate. We approached our pricing this way so our fee would never impact a practice’s bottom-line. For example, if you price your plans at $30.00 a month, we would add our monthly maintenance fee and the client would actually pay $33.95 a month.

This is literally unlimited, as we let vets customize and create their own plans.

Pet Wellness Plans has been in business since December, 2002. It is important to note that we have only been marketing our services to practices since December 2003. We spent an entire year developing and piloting our offering in 5 local clinics. We initially rolled out a "static" offering, where our assembled team of veterinarians developed and priced 12 plans. As you can imagine, this did not go over well when we asked other vets, in different geographies, if they would like to carry our “static” plan. We found that 99% of the vets we talked to wanted the flexibility to price and create their own plans. This sent us back to the drawing board completely, where we developed the program we have in place today. Now, vets can enroll with our service, have access to 12 templates (1/2 canine - 1/2 feline) that they can customize 100%. They can change/add/delete services, descriptions, and prices. In addition, they can make up entirely new plans for any species. One thing we will always do is listen to our providers...if they want functionality, we will give it to them.

Pet Wellness Plan will guarantee payment on any proactive service that you actually rendered to the client before their default. This does not include reactive surgery or treatment. For example, if a client visits you, receives $150.00 worth of services, and has only paid for one month at $50.00 then skips town,Pet Wellness Plans would provide you with the additional $100.00 you are owed during the next billing cycle. We take the burden of collections away from your practice.

Most Practice Management Suites have a feature that allows you to bundle services at a certain price and charge a flat rate for them. The good news is that Pet Wellness Plans is already working on integrating with the major practice management suites.

Yes. Pet Wellness Plans has a practicing veterinarian on staff that can assist you with building your plans. We will also provide proven templates that you can customize with ease. Your staff will also have access to Pet Wellness Plans customer support for any guidance they need.

When you include services in your plan, you simply input the service price, including sales tax if it is a taxable service. This will ensure that all of the proper taxes are collected each month.
