Medicaid Spay and Neuter Program
Through the ALVMF Spay/Neuter License Plate Program, proceeds from statewide tag sales offset the cost of spay/neuter surgeries performed at participating hospitals throughout the state of Alabama.
Qualifications for client participation:
- Must be an Alabama Medicaid recipient. Do not confuse this with Medicare. Medicaid is low-income, whereas Medicare is a program for the elderly.
- Client must send copy (or picture) of Medicaid Card and photo identification, matching the name on the Alabama Medicaid card prior to scheduling the appointment.
- A deposit of $10 per cat or $20 per dog, which is your Co-Pay, is required when making an appointment to hold a surgery spot. The deposit will cover the entire cost of surgery. Deposits are nonrefundable. Three business days is required to transfer a deposit to a new date when rescheduling.
- The Medicaid cardholder must sign surgery form on the day of surgery. If cardholder is an invalid or child, the parent/guardian may sign for them. Signor must note the relationship category next to his/her signature on the surgery form.
- Program only pays for two surgeries in a calendar year per household. The client will be eligible for two more surgeries in each successive calendar year. A parent with multiple children on Medicaid will still only qualify for the household limit above.
- Your pet must be up to date on their Rabies vaccination, required by law. Otherwise it must be administered for $15. Proof of vaccination within the last 12 months will be required.
- Additional low cost services (other vaccines, microchip, heartworm test, etc.) are available at the time of surgery but are NOT required. Payment for all additional services will be due when picking up. Click here for our price list sheet.
