Frequently Asked Questions

Send us a message and we’ll be in touch ASAP. The process for becoming a partner hospital is quick and easy —if you meet our clinical standards, you can be scheduling shifts in just a few hours. And there are no fees. Just sign up and start requesting coverage.

Once you’re all signed up with us, we’ll set your hospital up with our online scheduling system, CATS (Centralized Appointment Tracking System). It’s easy to access on our website and we’ll walk you through how to post shift requests.

There are no posting requirements. Use IndeVets when you need us.

We charge by the hour and invoice every two weeks. Rates vary by region. Contact us to get specific rates for your hospital.

We only hire the best. In fact, only about 15% of veterinarians that apply become Associate IndeVets. We know it takes more than a license and clean record to be an awesome person and an amazing clinician.

Every applicant is reviewed and screened by a practicing IndeVet. We don’t hire new graduates — our associates need to have enough experience to practice independently in your hospital.

Then applicants complete a Predictive Index Behavioral Report to determine their key personality traits. There is also a round of clinical questions and case studies to assess their standard of veterinary medical care.

All applicants are interviewed by at least two members of our clinical leadership team (all veterinarians), including at least one veterinarian to discuss clinical cases and medical standards of care. Lastly, we speak with at least three references for each candidate prior to bringing the candidate to our hiring committee meeting to discuss the next steps in the process.

Applicants must also pass a criminal background check and drug screen.

No, we take care of that. All our IndeVets are covered with general liability, worker’s compensation, and professional liability insurance with license defense.

It’s rare, but sometimes personalities don’t match. Just let us know. We have a process for reporting and solving your concerns. We’ll work with you to find the perfect IndeVet for your hospital.
