Payment Options

Pet owner reviewing veterinary payment options at the clinic

Your pet’s health shouldn’t have to wait while you figure out how to pay for it. At Great Plains Veterinary Clinic, we’ve built a range of payment solutions around the realities of rural Montana life — because the families we serve are balancing a lot, and cost shouldn’t be the thing that keeps a pet from getting care. Whether your visit is planned or unexpected, we have options ready before you sit down at checkout.

We accept all major credit cards and Apple Pay. Beyond that, we offer three dedicated pathways depending on your situation. Each one is explained in full on its own page — follow the link that fits you best.

Pet Insurance
Use the coverage you already have
We accept all major pet insurance providers. If you carry Trupanion, we pay them directly at checkout — no reimbursement wait, no out-of-pocket gap.

Third-Party Financing
Spread out the cost with CareCredit or Scratchpay
Apply at the clinic and get a same-day decision. Both programs pay us directly so your pet is treated right away — you repay over time on a schedule that fits your budget.

In-Clinic Payment Plans
A plan built directly with our team

Not Sure Where to Start?

The right option depends on your situation, and our front desk team knows how to walk you through it without making it feel complicated. If you’re coming in for a planned procedure and want to sort out payment beforehand, call us ahead of your visit. If you’re here now and cost is a concern, tell us at check-in — we’d rather find a solution with you than have you leave without the care your pet needs.

Our wellness and preventive care services are priced with accessibility in mind, and routine care is almost always the most affordable version of veterinary medicine. Staying current on your pet’s annual visits, vaccines, and screenings is the best financial strategy we know. When something unexpected does happen, we’ll make sure you’re not facing it alone. You can also find answers to common billing questions in our frequently asked questions.

Have a Question Before Your Visit?

If you’re unsure which payment option is right for your situation, or if you’d like to talk through the cost of an upcoming procedure before you come in, our team is ready to help. A quick conversation before your appointment takes the guesswork out of checkout — and gets your pet the care they need without any financial surprises.
