Business Alliances

What is It? TVMA seeks out relationships with companies that provide veterinary-related products and services that offer discounts or special rates resulting in savings for our members. In many cases the savings are well above the cost of TVMA membership. Participating vendors are vetted to ensure quality products and services as well as exceptional customer service.

How can our business apply: Interested vendors can use the linked RFP and submit to accounting@tvma.org.

Current business alliances are:

American Profit Recovery

American Profit Recovery (APR) specializes in helping veterinary practices resolve their slow-paying and delinquent accounts receivables. APR knows that there is a fine line between care and collections and their service provides a diplomatic approach to carefully maintain the client relationship. APR is used as a tool to help practices speed up their cash flow and reduce some of the internal time and expense to pursue these aged receivables. On top of their very successful program, the cost is a minimal flat-fee per account as opposed to going straight to a contingency type agency or attorney. They are offering even deeper discounts to TVMA members. Please see for yourself if they can help you as they have hundreds of practices nationally.

  • Gentle approach
  • Internal time and cost savings
  • Minimal flat-fee pricing and 10% discount for TVMA members
  • Results!

Please contact Matt Moskowitz or Matt Helz at 800-711-0023 for a free consultation. We are proud to serve TVMA members.
