Preparing for Client Visit

The Veterinary Teaching hospital strives to provide reasonable costs for services, but modern veterinary care can be very costly. Referring veterinarians are asked to review our payment policy with their clients before the referral. Medical imaging procedures are not inexpensive and we don't want clients to have any surprises about the cost of testing.


Payment Procedures

Outpatient care is the care that is completed entirely on the day of the study.

  • Our payment policy requires payment in full at the time of completion of outpatient care.
  • Payment options include cash, check, Visa or Mastercard.

Please call our accounting office at (540) 231-6062 if you have question concerning billing of the outpatient imaging services.
