Letting patients know they may be able to pay over time with the CareCredit credit card, often with promotional financing, may help those with an out-of-pocket cost. First, ask all patients, “Do you have the CareCredit credit card”? Second, recommend patients see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card – without impacting their credit score – by scanning your custom link QR code or at www.carecredit.com/dentistry.
Engaging in an open conversation about treatment cost and payment options early on goes a long way toward alleviating patient misconceptions and fears.
