What is myBalto
Charitable Fund?
The myBalto Charitable Fund is an opportunity to give every veterinarian a critical resource to help pets when they need it most. Whether the client has fallen on hard times or has poor credit, the myBalto Charitable Fund allows the veterinarian to provide care at their discretion without sacrificing hospital resources or contributing to the ever-present compassion fatigue. Our goal is to make the veterinary industry better for our pets, our clients, and our veterinary family.

Yes, we do ask for permission to access pet medical records for two reasons: 1) in order to maintain compliance and to adhere to regulations, we need to be able to randomly check Charitable Fund submissions from various hospitals to make sure funds are not being used inappropriately. Having access to pet's records allows us to confirm the submitted claim was performed in earnest. And 2) giving owner's 24/7 access to their pet's medical records saves your staff countless hours on calling for and sending pet medical records. Its been shown to make hospitals more efficient and help your doctors see more patients because they aren't waiting for medical records to arrive from other hospitals.
We raise money for your individual hospital by connecting to your point of sales (POS) system (this may be your veterinary management system or a 3rd party vendor). When owners are checking out of your clinic, they will be asked to round up to the nearest $1, $3, or $5. All funds raised go directly to your hospital fund!
