Refund/Return Policy
Medical Maggots (TM) are prepared upon order and are highly perishable; they cannot be stored, reused, or returned.
Problems with product quality must be reported within 24 hours of receipt to be eligible for refund or replacement.
A fee may be assessed for orders cancelled less than 24 hours before shipping.
Maggots which arrive dead, or more than 6 hours late, Tuesday through Friday, will be replaced or refunded without charge,
if they cannot be used and if the customer completes the required documentation
(simple questionaires, required for quality assurance and subject to FDA review).
If Medical Maggots (TM) ordered for Saturday delivery arrive dead, they will also be be replaced or refunded without charge,
according to the same provisions.
However, since Monarch Labs does not advise Monday deliveries
(due to their extended transit time)
orders for Monday deliveries will not be replaced or refunded.
Sorry, we cannot refund or replace orders with shipment problems resulting from incorrect addresses furnished by client,
or because no one was available to take receipt of the package,
or because of other customer errors.

If you do not have insurance, Medicare or Medicaid,
and if you do not have the financial means to cover the cost of treatment,
ask your doctor to provide the service at a reduced fee, and apply for a Patient Assistance Grant from the
BTER Foundation to cover the cost of the maggots.
If you are looking for a therapist to evaluate your wound for maggot therapy, first ask your current physician or surgeon.
S/he knows you already, and can provide local care and follow-up.
Your current doctor or wound care therapist may already have experience with maggot therapy.
Even if not, the procedure is simple enough that most licensed therapists can do it their first time with ease.
We have a clinical consultant on-call to assist your therapist.
Courses are available (see
BTER Foundation) and your current doctor or wound care therapist may have already had experience.
If that is not possible, or if your therapist would like to speak with others who have more experience,
contact us for a referral. Sorry, we cannot post the names of therapists or their contact information.
