FCVC is adding an outside prescription request processing fee (OPRP). This is to assist in the costs of preparing and sending each outside prescription. Costs include paper, ink, employee time (spent for the request), the doctor approval, then response time whether via email or over the phone. In some cases our staff are on the phone for nearly 30 minutes to call in one prescription, while in other cases we have to respond multiple times for one request to be accepted by an outside pharmacy. This is a large strain on the overall function and does cost FCVC substantially.

The cost for the OPRP fee will be $8.00.
FCVC will discount the OPRP fee for medications that are not carried in the FCVC pharmacy. The OPRP fee for medications not carried ‘in house’ will be discounted to $4.00. Fees are in line with Colorado law and are a result of the cost of doing business. Thank you for understanding and adjusting with us as we navigate through the ever changing economic situation. FCVC is a privately owned small business, not corporate funded. We strive to maintain the lowest possible costs for our clients while offering excellent service. First and foremost we are the pet’s advocate, offering high-quality care for pet companions is our most important goal.
This fee will be implemented on the 19th of May. Thank you.
