Why let all patients know you accept the CareCredit credit card?
Paying for dentistry remains a barrier to care. The 2023 Synchrony Dental Lifetime of Care study found:
- 30% of respondents said they would hold off on dental care if cost was $500 or less
- 52% would hold off on dental care if cost was $1000 or less
- Only 75% of respondents went to see their general dentist in the past 12 months. Of those who did not, 54% cited “expenses” as the reason.
Giving patients the ability to pay over time – often with promotional financing – can encourage more patients to schedule care, keep appointments and accept recommended treatment.
11.8+ million people nationwide have CareCredit. Some of them may be your patients and may prefer to use CareCredit at your practice.
How easy is it to use CareCredit – for patients and for the team?
With CareCredit, financing is simplified. It takes two simple steps:
- Ask all patients, “Do you have the CareCredit credit card?”
- Let them know they can see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card – without impacting their credit score – by scanning your custom link QR code display.
