In a continuing commitment to provide practices with tools to increase treatment acceptance, CareCredit‚ the nation’s leading patient payment program, is introducing Pre-Approval — an innovative feature designed to help practices present recommended treatment with greater assurance of case acceptance. Currently in use in other markets and now offered exclusively in health care through CareCredit, Pre-Approval allows practices to know in advance whether most patients will be approved for CareCredit before the financial discussion or their appointment. Practices can Pre-Approve patients before asking them to complete an application, saving valuable time and effort. And, unlike a standard credit inquiry, the Pre-Approval process does not affect a patient’s credit bureau report. Practices currently using this feature find it to be a “great addition” to the CareCredit program. “With Pre-Approval I am no longer asking patients if they can pay for treatment, I am telling them ‘Yes! You can!’” states Cindy Minson, Office Manager, New Orleans.
CareCredit is at work in more than 35,000 healthcare practices nationwide and has been used by over 1.5 million patients to get the treatment they want and need. CareCredit is exclusively selected for their members by ADA Member Advantage*, AGD, AAOMS, AAP and most major state dental associations. CareCredit is also recommended by leading practice management consultants. For more information call CareCredit at 1-800-300-3046, ext 519.
