Electronic Interstate CVI

Digital technology continues to develop and helps with multiple aspects of our daily lives. Multiple options are available to aid veterinarians with increased accuracy and convenience. A few of the benefits of electronic options for CVI include: utilizing equipment already on-hand (smartphones, tablets, computers), no postage stamps, no trips to the post office, automatic submission to the DAH office (with some electronic options).

Getting Started

Options are listed below with a few of their highlights. Check out the following comparison table. There are options for any situation, with or without internet access and with or without a smartphone.

Equipment Needed

There is likely no requirement to purchase new equipment. Different products work with different situations and comfort levels. Web-based solutions work on devices with internet access. The office computer may be used to generate CVIs with a fillable pdf. Other products will automatically submit the CVI to the DAH office. And, for those working in areas of the state with limited to no cell service, there is a solution for that.
