Ready to help patients address cost as a concern during the consultation? It may be easier than you think.
“Hi, Mason. Nice to meet you. It looks like you're a great candidate for vision surgery, so let's get you scheduled. The cost is $4,000.”
“To be honest with you, that's a little bit more than I'm comfortable spending today. Can I at least think about it?”
“I totally understand. It's a big decision. We do accept credit cards, and we have financing through CareCredit. It's a credit card for your health and wellness expenses such as vision, dentistry and even veterinarian care if you have a pet. With CareCredit, you can pay over time, often with promotional financing.”
“Promotional financing? What do you mean by that?”
“Great question. The CareCredit credit card offers deferred interest promotional financing, which is a type of financing where, as long as you make the required monthly payments and pay your balance in full within the promotional period, you won't pay any interest. If you don't pay the promo balance in full within the promo period, you will be charged interest from the purchase date.”
“Looks like your monthly payment may be around $167. Would you like to see if you prequalify with no impact to your credit score?”
“Absolutely. Let's see what we got here.”
It may be that easy to help more patients address their cost concerns with the CareCredit credit card.
