Bill Payment
Who is billed?
Our routine practice is to bill Veterinary-clients only. We do not bill the animal owner’s directly. Animal owners can only be billed as clients when they make a submission for postmortem cases with a veterinarian’s permission. In these cases we require partial payment in advance (cash, debit, credit card). Please note: We cannot change the client on a case once it has been invoiced.
How are bills issued? Invoicing
Invoices are sent out only upon completion of the full report. Cumulative monthly statements are mailed from the University of Guelph – payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. Interest of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) is charged on overdue accounts. University of Guelph, Laboratory Services Division’s liability is limited to the quoted individual sample price.
