Is the PennHIP Procedure More Expensive Than the OFA Procedure?
The total fee for a PennHIP evaluation is determined by the veterinarian providing the service. It is important to remember that the total service includes sedation/anesthesia, 3 radiographs, office consultation and all charges associated with mailing and film evaluation. You will not find it necessary to write a separate check for evaluation fees or mailing of your dog’s films. The film evaluation charge will be included in the total cost of a PennHIP evaluation. Your PennHIP veterinarian will likely charge more for the analysis because it consists of 3 radiographs rather than one.
