OFFER CARECREDIT AS A PAYMENT OPTION FOR PATIENTS


CareCredit is a third party company that provides payment plans with no interest charges for up to 12 months for treatment in excess of $1000.  The company also offers six month payment plans for treatment costs in excess of $200.

CareCredit uses the tagline, “The credit card for your health, beauty, and wellness needs.”  Credit is extended to patients seeking those services in healthcare offices.  Most enrolled healthcare providers allow patients to complete an application in the office so that dental staff can help with questions and submit the data to CareCredit or encourage patients to apply online using their home computer.  In summary, this Card offers shorter financing terms than most other cards with options that range from six to 24 months with no interest charged on amounts of $200 or more as long as the patient/consumer makes minimum monthly payments and pays the full amount due by the end of the contract period.

Over 175,000 healthcare providers nationwide accept the CareCredit healthcare credit card.  CareCredit is part of GE Capital, a financial organization with a reputation for quality service.  Go online to www.carecredit.com for more information as you consider whether to offer your patients this viable financial choice.  It is a payment option that encourages many patients to begin treatment sooner rather than later.
