2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Starting January 1, 2027, a provider cannot charge your third-party financing account for care before providing it, except for costs the provider has already incurred. For an extra product charged to that account, you must get a receipt naming the product and its cost or separately agree in writing; this rule does not cover animal food. You can return an extra product bought from the provider with third-party financing within 30 days of the sale for a full refund. The provider does not have to accept a product customized so another person or animal cannot use it, or one that was used, damaged, tampered with, or stored against the maker’s instructions in a way that may have compromised it.
Starting January 1, 2027, health and veterinary providers cannot promote third-party financing with their branding or while you are sedated, receiving care, or in a care area. A care area rule does not apply when there is no separate area for marketing; a vet need not move an animal if the provider judges that moving it could cause harm. Providers cannot receive payment for promoting third-party financing or complete or submit your application; you must handle those steps yourself. When a provider discusses financing terms, you must receive and sign a notice in at least 14-point type and your primary language. It explains that the financing is a lender’s loan or credit line, covers other payment and insurance options and credit risks, and warns about interest, fees, missed payments, credit damage, and possible legal action. No notice is required when the provider only says it accepts the financing as payment. These rules do not cover loans or credit lines where the provider is the lender.
