Create a Financial Policy for your practice, instantly.

Does your practice have a written financial policy? Having a written document which includes when the practice expects payment and what types of payment options are accepted can minimize confusion and increase patient satisfaction.  Plus, when dental teams clearly communicate the patient's financial responsibilities and all payment options upfront, patients can quickly see which financial arrangement works for their situation and more can accept the dentistry they need because their uncertainty and "fear of cost" has been addressed.
 
When you're enrolled with CareCredit, creating a Financial Policy is easy to do. Simply go online to www.carecredit.com/FinancialPolicy to answer a short questionnaire that includes how insurance benefits are handled, which payment options are available and when payment is expected.  Almost instantly, the dental team can download and print their customized Financial Policy document to include in their new patient information packets, use as a visual aid during the treatment and fee discussion and to post on their practice's website. 
 
If you're not currently enrolled with CareCredit, you can get started today for only $20, with no monthly minimum use fee.   Enrolled practices enjoy complimentary access to the Financial Policy tool as well as many other resources located on CareCredit's online resource center.  Call 800-300-3046 ext. 4519 to enroll for only $20 or visit http://carecredit.com/jumppage/ssc/ to get started.
