Practice Group Membership Discount

Practice Group Membership Discount

Practices that pay for their staff membership dues may be eligible for a group discount.

Discounts are based on the number of staff memberships that will be paid by the practice. To secure the discount, the practice must pay its staff members at the same time. Interested? Email Jennifer Smith at jsmith@cvma.net or call 800.655.2862.

To get started contact the CVMA’s Membership Coordinator, Jennifer Smith, at jsmith@cvma.net, and let her know that you would like to get the group membership discount and who should be designated as the primary contact for your organization. That person will have the ability to manage your organization’s roster – adding and removing staff members. Once you have updated your roster, let Jennifer know which members you would like to pay for. We will then send the primary contact an invoice with a quick pay link.

FAQ

Can we mix membership types to reach a tier? (e.g., do 6 DVMs + 4 RVTs = 10, qualifying for the 5–10 tier?)

 

Yes

In our staff count, can we include free staff memberships (veterinary students followed by 1st and 2nd year veterinary graduates, RVT students and 1st year RVT licensees)? And can we count CVMA CVA’s?

 

No. Neither free memberships, nor CVMA CVA memberships (which are already drastically discounted) may be included in the count.

What if we want to add staff members after we have paid for our group?

 

If, later in the year, additional staff members are added, their membership dues rate will be the same reduced price the practice originally paid for the group, and their membership term will be the same as the rest of the group. For example, a practice pays for 10 veterinarians at the discount rate of $375 for the membership term of July 1-June 30. If in November, the practice decides they want to pay for two more veterinarians, they will still be charged the $375 per member (even though the additional two members puts them in the next discount level), and the membership term for those two veterinarians will be July 1-June 30, the same as the rest of the group.

 What if some of our staff members have already paid for their membership at the full rate?

 

Should a practice want to pay for their staff and one or more of their staff have already paid for their own membership(s) at the regular price within the past 60 days, we will refund those staff members and then charge the practice the discounted rate.

What if we do not want the $5 contribution included in General Veterinarian membership to go to the CVMA PAC?

 

Let the CVMA Staff know whether you would like the $5 per General Veterinarian membership go to the CVMF or to general administration cost.

What if a staff member leaves mid-year after we’ve already paid for them? Do they get a refund? Does the Practice?

 

No refunds will be issued. The staff member who is leaving will keep the membership until its expiration. The practice may add any additional new staff members at the original discounted rate, and the membership term will be the same as the rest of the paid staff.

How do we pay?

 

Payment can be made by credit card using the quick pay link that will be sent to you. Let us know if you are interested in paying by ACH and we will send you instructions.
