CARECREDIT® EDITION OF SMILE REMINDER LAUNCHED

COSTA MESA, CALIF., NOVEMBER 2010 — CareCredit, a leading provider of patient payment options, and Smile Reminder, a leader in patient communication and interaction solutions for healthcare providers, have created the CareCredit Edition of Smile Reminder, helping practices that offer CareCredit enhance and streamline their patient communications.

Smile Reminder, a pioneer in electronic messaging to patients, is a program healthcare providers can use to consistently and privately communicate with patients, helping enhance patient retention and loyalty. The Smile Reminder program features a range of personalized, opt-in patient communications, including text and email appointment reminders, thank-you notes, patient surveys, and newsletters.

“Increasingly, healthcare practices recognize the value of communicating with patients electronically, through email or text. For many patients this is the easiest way for them to receive information and to be able to respond,” explains Mark Olson, vice president of Business Development, Smile Reminder.

The CareCredit Edition of Smile Reminder enables practice teams to inform patients about their payment options. Plus, patients can apply for financing before their appointment, making it easier for them to accept recommended care. The CareCredit Edition of Smile Reminder also helps practices privately and securely communicate with patients who have incomplete treatment and who already have CareCredit as a financial resource about scheduling a return visit to complete the care they need.

“Our goal is to help more patients get the treatment and procedures they need,” said Cindy Hearn, senior vice president of Marketing, CareCredit. “The CareCredit Edition of Smile Reminder makes it easier and more convenient for patients to access care, providing text and email communications that help reduce missed appointments, scheduling gaps and foster long-term patient loyalty and satisfaction.”
