monthly administration fee. There are no penalties for
pre-payment. So if you can settle the outstanding bal-
ance say after 6 months then there is no early settlement
charge. MediWallet credit can be used at all MediWallet
accredited partners. As with all revolving credit facilities
the balance becomes available once it is repaid. If you are a veterinarian trying to decide between pet
insurance or medical credit cards, my advice would be
to accept both options. The products are designed to
target different customers, offering alternative options,
making your practice more appealing to a wider audi-
ence.
From the perspective of the veterinarian, a primary
benefit of the MediWallet is that it replaces in-house ac-
counts or payment plans. It is understandably hard to
digest writing off bad debt however, what is often not
considered is the time invested in recovering outstand-
ing debts. Veterinarians should focus on doing what
they do best, which is providing quality healthcare to
animals. Pet insurance is a good option for those comfortable
to make monthly pre-payments, whereas MediWallet
caters for customers who can’t make a lump sum pay-
ment immediately, but can afford the procedure over 18
months.
