Care Credit

What is Care Credit?

Care Credit is a healthcare-specific credit card designed to finance medical, dental, vision, and veterinary expenses not covered by insurance. This credit line offers special financing options including interest-free periods for qualified purchases, allowing patients to pay for treatments over time. Care Credit is accepted by numerous healthcare providers and can be used for elective procedures, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket medical costs.

Why Care Credit matters

  • Enables immediate treatment: Allows access to care without upfront payment
  • Offers financing flexibility: Provides various payment plans and promotional periods
  • Covers diverse services: Applies to many healthcare expenses beyond traditional insurance
