Health coverage

Health insurance is a lot like the insurance people have to protect their car or home. Some people get health insurance through their jobs, and some buy it themselves. Without insurance, high medical bills can sometimes wipe out savings and even lead to bankruptcy. Insurance helps protect you financially if you have a serious illness or injury that requires extensive care.

• Each month, you pay a premium to your insurance company or health plan to provide you with health care coverage.

• When you need care (such as doctor visits, hospital care, and medications), your insurance company or health plan may help you pay for it.

For example, let's say a visit to the doctor costs $100. Instead of having to pay all of it by yourself, you may have to pay only $20. Your insurance company or health plan will pay the other $80.

How you benefit

There are lots of advantages to having health care coverage. Here are just a few of the big ones.

• Peace of mind. Life is unpredictable, but when you have health coverage, you have more control, and you can rest easy knowing that you have coverage for the care you need.

• Care when you need it. You can see a doctor when you're sick or just need preventive care. You don't need to ignore symptoms or hope they'll go away. You can get treated before things get worse.

• Stay on a healthy path. Preventive care helps you catch minor symptoms before they become problems. Screenings, like mammograms and cholesterol level tests, can catch problems early – when they're easier to treat.

Skylights, high ceilings, and plants add to the scenic atmosphere of the waiting lobby.

A centrally placed glass walled intensive care sector allows the doctor and staff to keep an eye on severely ill or recuperating pets.

There are 4 spacious, clean and odor free exam rooms. Recuperating pets are boarded in rooms, dog runs, or cat kennels. The boarding areas have been designed to maintain a high level of hygiene. Pets suffering from communicable diseases like PARVO are housed in the contagious ward.

The boarding and grooming facilities are lodged on the second floor. There are 40 dog runs, varying in size to provide a comfortable home for a Chihuahua or a big St. Bernard. The cat condos are completely separate from the dog runs. The deluxe cat condos can house more than one cat and has a window which offers a view of the outside world.
