CareCredit:
From inflation to the rising cost of healthcare, in today’s economic environment, many patients may delay or choose not to move forward with recommended care because of the cost. By accepting the CareCredit credit card, you can help more patients get the care they want and need — without delay — by offering a convenient way to pay for coinsurance, deductibles, and care not covered by insurance. Plus, when patients use CareCredit, you receive payment in two business days — helping to increase cash flow and reduce self-pay receivables. Enhance the patient experience and help increase satisfaction and loyalty with CareCredit.
