Over 100,000 practices now offer CareCredit to help patients get the care they want and need.
What is CareCredit?
For the past two decades insurance benefits have remained largely unchanged. However, with advances in technology and new treatment, the cost of quality dentistry has increased, resulting in larger patient-out-of-pocket expenses. For patients with employer-provided benefits, CareCredit patient financing helps bridge the gap between insurance and the cost of their dental needs. For patients without insurance, CareCredit is a convenient and comfortable way to fit recommended dentistry into their lifestyle and budget.
Why do Doctors offer CareCredit?
Most doctors become interested in CareCredit when they want to:
Increase acceptance of recommended care
Perform more of the type of dentistry they love to do
Reduce billing and collections
Decrease patients’ dependence on insurance benefits
Improve patient satisfaction, retention and referrals
Attract new, high-quality patients
How does CareCredit work?
Offering CareCredit is similar to offering patients the ability to pay with a consumer credit card, and is comparable in cost to offering a 5% courtesy for payment prior to treatment. The program is easy to use and the office is provided free customized training, patient education and presentation materials and online resources.
Do patients like CareCredit?
Patients appreciate the ability to pay over time with a No Interest or Low Interest Payment Plan. 86% of patients would recommend CareCredit to a friend or family member1.
