Will shipping or tax be included in my web quote?
Additional charges associated with your order such as shipping and taxes will appear in your web quote just as they did in the cart view.
Which products are eligible for web quotes?
Depending on the account, products you’re eligible to order will qualify for the web quote feature. Please note that some Encompass program and configurable products may not qualify.
How do I redeem a promotion?
Order the qualifying products for a promotion and follow the instructions on the redeem tab of the promotion page. You will need your proof of purchase and you may be asked to select your redeemable products.
Can I take advantage of promotions if I’m a healthcare practitioner?
Yes — promotions specifically designed for healthcare practitioners can be found on the Fisher Healthcare tab. Click on Resources & Programs above the blue bar at the top of the site to view healthcare special offers. Many promotions are not available to our current or potential healthcare customers because of the Physician Payment Sunshine Act.
