Keep Cornerstone. Add the link that gets the plan approved and paid.
VetApprove is not another practice management system and never asks for your Cornerstone password. It handles one step: the link that turns a recommended procedure into a signed plan with a deposit already in your bank.
- $99
- per clinic per month, whatever the number of veterinarians
- Direct
- deposits land in your own Stripe. We take nothing on the deposit, Stripe's fees apply
- ≈ 30 s
- to file a signed plan back into your software
Stays where it is
Cornerstone
- Records, labs and the IDEXX diagnostics workflow.
- Estimates as you cost them today, invoicing and reporting.
- Your appointment book and reminders.
What VetApprove adds
The link that gets the yes
- A priced plan the owner reads on their phone: included, recommended, optional. The total updates as they tick.
- A finger signature and a deposit paid in the same page, in about twenty seconds.
- Email reminders on day 1 and day 3, a balance reminder the day before, then expiry on the date you set.
- A sealed record: timestamp, IP, device, the hash of the accepted content, proof the link was opened. The PDF is rendered from it.
How they meet
Copy in, paste back
When the plan is signed, you get an email with a sealed PDF and one CSV line. Paste the CSV line into the Cornerstone estimate or invoice, attach the sealed PDF to the visit. About thirty seconds, no API key, no integration for anyone to approve.
What Cornerstone already offers
IDEXX, IDEXX's installed practice management software, widely used in established US practices.
We have not verified this vendor's estimate, signature and deposit features; tell us. If Cornerstone already sends a priced plan that your client approves, signs and pays from a single link, write to us and we will say so on this page. And you probably do not need VetApprove.
We would rather you keep your money than buy a duplicate. If the flow above already exists in your setup, say so and we will write it here.
Price: $99 per clinic per month, the founder rate for the first ten early-access clinics, kept for as long as the subscription stays active; $149 a month, or $1,490 a year, for clinics joining after early access. No setup fee, no contract. We take nothing on the deposit, Stripe's fees apply. Deposits are collected by your clinic through its own Stripe account (Stripe Connect); VetApprove is not a payment processor. Signatures are simple electronic signatures with an audit trail. No compliance or certification claim. Product names are trademarks of their respective owners. VetApprove is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
How a clinic actually runs this
- 01
Cost the plan in Cornerstone
Nothing changes: the exam, the record and the pricing stay in Cornerstone, exactly as your team does it today.
- 02
Build the estimate in two minutes
Start from a starter template you can edit (dental, spay, TPLO, imaging, emergency deposit), adjust the lines, mark each one included, recommended or optional, set the deposit and an expiry date.
- 03
Send one link
By email. The owner opens it on their phone (no account, no app), picks options, signs and pays the deposit into your clinic's Stripe account.
- 04
File it back into Cornerstone
The signed record lands in your workspace: download the sealed PDF and the one-line CSV. Paste the line into the Cornerstone estimate, attach the PDF to the visit. About thirty seconds.
Questions clinics ask.
Cornerstone already prints estimates. Why send a link?
Because a printed estimate goes home in a folder and comes back as a phone call you have to make. A link comes back as a signature and a deposit, or as a reminder that goes out by itself on day 1 and day 3.
Is there anything to install?
Nothing on your side and nothing on the client's. VetApprove is a web app for the clinic and a web page for the owner.
How do signed plans get back into Cornerstone?
As a sealed PDF you attach to the visit and one CSV line you paste into the estimate. About thirty seconds per plan.
Other practice software
Ten clinics. Then we close the door for a while.
We are onboarding the first cohort by hand, one clinic at a time, to get the templates right for your species and procedures. Tell us where you are and we'll send the payment link and a 15-minute slot.
