CareCredit Enhances Provider Website, Adding Functionality and Improving Ease-of-Use

COSTA MESA, Calif. – November 8, 2012 – CareCredit, a healthcare credit card, recently completed a comprehensive redesign of its CareCredit.com website for dental practices who accept CareCredit as a financial option. The streamlined site delivers enhanced functionality, simplifying the CareCredit program for their practice.

The healthcare provider site is available to CareCredit’s nearly 160,000 enrolled healthcare practices to access the information and tools to manage the CareCredit program within their financial system. The new, clean and simple layout and easy to navigate interface enables users to perform a number of functions from the home page including: log-on and application processing, transactions, and viewing and printing key reports. Each page features a link to the online Payment Calculator for quick and easy access, as well as a “click to chat” feature that immediately connects the practice to a CareCredit support representative. The dental office team members can also check the status of an application in real time, request a credit line increase, and reprint receipts. For increased privacy and security, practices can create unique credentials for each member of the team, determine individual access parameters, and monitor user activity. Nearly 110,000 providers are already registered to use the new site. Providers who need to register should visit carecredit.com and click on the “HealthCare Provider” tab.

“In today’s busy dental practice, saving even a few minutes can make the day easier,” said Oskar Vides, vice president of Provider Experience, CareCredit. “We asked practices how we could provide a better experience online and used their input to develop and test a new site that is more functional, logical, and efficient. Everything they need to use CareCredit to help patients get the care they need is easy to find and use.”

For 25 years CareCredit has helped millions of patients receive needed and desired care. CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that can be used as a financial option for certain expenses not covered by insurance or to bridge payment when desired care exceeds insurance coverage, and it is accepted at nearly 100,000 enrolled dental practices. CareCredit is exclusively selected for their members by most state and national dental associations including ADA Business Resources^SM, AGD, AAOMS Services, Inc., and AAP, and is also recommended by leading practice management consultants.
