Payment Options for Veterinary Cancer Care

We believe that cost should never prevent your companion from receiving the care they need. Veterinary Cancer Care accepts many payment options including all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), cash, check, insurance, and veterinary financing plans through CareCredit, iCare, and Scratchpay. If you need additional financial support, The Athena Fund provides assistance to New Mexico pet owners, and our Grants & Foundations page lists organizations across the country that help families cover the cost of pet cancer treatment.

Pet insurance

Veterinary Cancer Care believes in pet insurance. Time and again, we’ve seen it enable pet parents to provide critical and life-saving care for their pets, especially when facing the extensive treatment needed for a pet with cancer. Having a pet who is ill is difficult enough without worrying about how to pay for veterinary care. Pet insurance lets you focus on helping your pet get better.Most pet insurance plans do cover cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, surgery, and diagnostic testing, as long as the cancer is not a pre-existing condition. Coverage, deductibles, and reimbursement rates vary by provider and plan, so it’s important to review your policy carefully.

We recommend Trupanion, but there are many quality providers to choose from. Take time to research several providers and plans to find the one that suits your needs.

Things to consider when shopping for pet insurance:

How much is the deductible? Is it annual, per event, or for the life of the pet?
What percentage of the bill does the insurance cover after the deductible?
Does the plan cover routine and preventive care?
Does the plan cover pre-existing conditions?
Does the plan pay your veterinarian directly, or is it a reimbursement model?
Does the plan cover cancer treatment, including chemotherapy and specialty care?

If you already have pet insurance, we can provide the documentation you need to submit claims to your provider. If you have questions about pet insurance, don’t hesitate to ask our team.
