Decode a veterinary treatment estimate — what each line is for, which items are core vs precautionary, and how to have the options conversation nobody offers you. Use when someone asks 'is this vet estimate reasonable', 'decode my vet's treatment plan', 'do we need all these tests', or 'I can't afford this vet bill what are my options'. Produces a line-by-line decode with core/precautionary/comfort triage, the questions that surface the tiered options vets keep in reserve, and the payment and assistance paths.

# Vet Estimate Decoder Skill

Vet estimates arrive at the worst possible moment — with a sick animal in the room and love doing the negotiating. Most clinics genuinely have tiered options ("gold standard" down to "reasonable and safe"), but the estimate shows only the top tier unless someone asks. This skill decodes what each line does, which items drive the diagnosis versus round it out, and scripts the options conversation — respectfully, because the vet is an ally, not an adversary. It decodes the estimate; it never practices medicine.

## What This Skill Produces

- A line-by-line decode: what each test/treatment is for, in plain language
- Triage: core-to-the-presenting-problem / precautionary-broadening / comfort-and-monitoring — as questions to confirm with the vet, not verdicts
- The options-conversation script: asking for the tiered plan without signaling neglect
- The money paths: staged diagnostics, payment plans, assistance programs, and the insurance-claim angle if covered
