Optigen 20/20 Clinic
We have scheduled the WLRC Specialty Optigen 20/20 Clinic for both Friday, June 17 & Saturday June 18. At the next meeting we can discuss exact times for the clinic. The price of testing is discounted by 20-25% by doing the 20/20 clinic. This means that each test that comes via this event will save at least 20% (with a hand completed form) and an additional 5% if it is entered online using the code that is set up for the event. The code that we have will be active for a 2 week period prior to the event through the event date & we would encourage participants to enter their requests online through the Optigen website using this code. For example if a client entered a request for a PRA test the regular price of $195 would be discounted by a total of 25% & their total for that test would be $146.25
(a savings of $48.75).
Combo pricing: There is an additional discount if a client were to request either an RD/OSD (Retinal Dysplasia/OculoSkeletal Dysplasia)test (regular price $160) and/or a Narcolepsy test (regular price $130) in addition to the PRA test. By requesting 2 or more tests at one time one can save approx. 20% off the cost of each test. This discount is taken before the clinic discount giving a substantial savings from the test cost if done all at the same time.
Pricing singly for OptiGen tests:
PRA - $195 reg price; $156 (20% savings - hand completed form); $146.25 (25% savings –
online entry w/discount code)
RD/OSD - $160 reg price; $148 (20% savings - hand completed form); $120 (25% savings –
online entry w/discount code)
Narcolepsy - $130 reg price; $104 (20% savings - hand completed form); $97.50 (25% savings –
online entry w/discount code)
Combo pricing 2 or more tests done on the SAME DOG (select 2 or more at price listed below):
PRA - $156 reg. combo price; $124.80 (20% savings – hand completed form); $117 (25% savings – online entry w/discount code)
RD/OSD - $120 reg. combo price; $96 (20% savings – hand completed form); $90 (25% savings –
online entry w/discount code)
Narcolepsy - $104 reg. combo price; $83.20 (20% savings – hand completed form); $78 (25% savings – online entry w/discount code)
Our clinic is now listed on the Optigen website: http://www.optigen.com/opt11_calendar.taf
We are encouraged to list on the Optigen website any other clinics that we are doing in conjunction with our specialty so please contact me and I will have each individual clinic listed.
