How much will you save with the plans?

The basic plan will save, at a minimum, $13 per horse per year (2.5% savings on routine care). A participant whose horse receives an extra fecal, a sheath clean, and has one emergency visit will save $97. Some clients will save over $150.

The performance and senior plans will save at least $200, (a 22-27% savings)!

Plan pricing is fixed for 12 months, so if our costs increase during the year, we will not increase the plan cost to you!

What our current plan participants are saying:

“The wellness plans have helped me budget the care my horses need. Also it ensures I don’t overlook anything that’s vital to their basic care”

“It's convenient to have things already paid for - they are all things we need to have done throughout the year. The no-charge fecals and reduced emergency fee are a nice bonus.”

“It's the perfect plan for all my clients that keep their horses at home. I cannot keep track of everything they need since they are scattered all over. This takes the guess work out and simplifies my life.”

“I love not having to pay a huge amount twice a year. My mares are getting care I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford.”

“Its easy and I like the monthly billing”

“The convenience of the wellness plan appeals to me - and after the first month or two, I didn't even remember that the money was being taken from my account, so it's such a nice relief that most of each visit is already paid for.”

More Information:

* A complete dental examination package includes a physical exam, light standing sedation, dental function evaluation, and full oral examination (with LED lights, full mouth speculum, mirror, dental picks and probes). Dental endoscopy (evaluation of abnormalities with a camera inside the mouth), routine "float," correction of simple dental abnormalities, incisor evaluation and cleaning are also included if needed. You are provided with a digital copy of your horse's exam chart and photographic records.

** The emergency fee for patients on a wellness package is $139. The regular emergency fee is $189. The emergency fee for a patient receiving all preventive care services from Foundation Equine, that is not on a wellness plan, is $159. The wellness plan emergency fee applies only to emergency visits provided by Foundation Equine Clinic. Emergency services provided by another practice as part of our rotating emergency cooperative are billed at the regular rate determined by that practice.

*** The soundness exam includes evaluation in-hand at the walk and trot, flexion tests of each joint, palpation of the neck, back and tendons, application of hoof testers, and observation on the lunge if desired. If a lameness is detected during the evaluation, nerve blocks and additional diagnostics aren’t included.

**** The imaging credit may be used for radiographs, ultrasound, or endoscopy (including upper airway endoscopy or gastroscopy/stomach scoping). This credit would cover 2 radiographs, or over half of a stomach scope! For seniors, we recommend incisor radiographs or hoof balance films, since EOTRH (an incisor disease) and low-grade laminitis are common in our older friends!

***** A basic blood panel includes a CBC, Chemistry panel and fibrinogen. It evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, organ values such as kidneys, liver and GI tract and indications of inflammation.

****** The ACTH level and TRH level test for the presence of PPID/ Cushing’s which is very common in older horses. An ACTH is recommended in the fall months, or can be used to monitor a horse’s response to treatment. A TRH stimulation test is used to diagnose PPID/Cushing’s in the non-Fall months. The plan includes an ACTH level, or a $137.50 discount on the TRH stimulation test.

What the Plans DON’T include:

All plans include only the services specifically listed. This means that farm calls, booster vaccines (for foals or previously unvaccinated horses), specialized dental procedures, additional sedation for dentals, etc are not included.

Any non-included services will be invoiced, and payment will be due at time of service.

Discounted emergency fees do not apply for calls made after 10pm, and the discounted fee applies only to the horse that is enrolled in the plan. 

Services not included on the plan will be invoiced at full price and payment will be due at time of service.

More Details:

Payments:

You can pay for the plan in one payment, or you can pay as a monthly recurring charge to a credit or debit card. We do not accept care credit for wellness plans.

Add-ons must be purchased at the same time as enrollment in the basic plan.

Change in the cost of the plan: we will not change the plan cost during a calendar year. Plans may increase in price on January 1st of each year. We will notify all plan participants of a change at least 30 days prior to the increase. If you wish to discontinue the plan, the cancellation terms will apply.

Cancellation policy: You can cancel a plan at any time. Here are the cancellation options:

1)   If the payments made toward the wellness plan have covered the cost of the services already rendered, your payments will be stopped.

2)   If the payments you have made don’t cover the full value of the services already performed, you can choose to finish the plan payments, or you can pay the difference between what we’ve done, and what you have paid. You can choose whichever is less!

3)   If you paid for your plan in one up-front payment, you can transfer the plan to another horse.

Declined/Late Payments: We will contact you if your card expires or is declined. If we aren’t able to get your payment brought up to date within 30 days, we will consider the plan cancelled and the cancellation terms will apply. We won’t be able to perform services during the time in which the card is not up to date.

Outstanding Balances: Clients with outstanding balances >30 days are not eligible to sign up form, or renew, a wellness plan. Once the account is paid in full, a wellness plan can be started or renewed.

Refunds: We’re not able to offer refunds if you don’t use your plan. If you decline services covered by the plan, or if you don’t utilize the services on the plan, that’s fine with us- but we can’t refund or create custom plans.

Death or sale of a horse: If a horse dies or is sold while on the plan, the plan will be considered cancelled. See cancellation terms above.

Appointment scheduling: We will make several attempts to reach clients to schedule wellness plan services. If our calls, texts and emails aren’t returned, we’ll consider that service is declined.

Who can sign up: Wellness plans are available to clients in good standing. A “client in good standing” is defined as a client who has had at least one preventive care visit in the last 6 months, and who has paid that bill at time of service. We reserve the right to refuse membership in the plan for any reason.
