ADA Business Resources Continues to Recommend
CareCredit to Member Dentists
CareCredit, a leading health, wellness and personal care credit
card, will continue to be the recommended patient financing option
for members of the American Dental Association under an exclusive,
seven-year endorsement agreement.
The extension agreement was recently completed with ADA Business
Enterprises, Inc., the for-profit subsidiary of the American Dental
Association that manages endorsements through their ADA Business
Resources program. The ADA has nearly 128,000 active member
dentists, which represents more than 60% of active dental providers
nationwide.
ADA Business Resources has recommended CareCredit to ADA member
doctors since 2001 and this agreement continues to help families
manage their out-of-pocket dental expenses by providing flexible
financing options that may not be covered by insurance.
The availability of financing can play an integral role in a
patient’s decision-making process regarding healthcare needs. A
CareCredit study found that more dental patients (67%) research
financing options than the procedure itself (58%). The research
also showed nearly half (49%) of respondents were very likely or
extremely likely to apply for or use the CareCredit credit card if
the cost of dental care increased to $1,000.¹
“We are honored to have had the privilege to serve ADA members
for over 15 years,” said Doug Hammond SVP, General Manager at
CareCredit. “Research shows that dental patients want and need
financing options, and it is our ongoing commitment to assist
members and their teams by helping patients access care.”
ADA Business Resources continually evaluates the products and
services they endorse against five key criteria: they must solve a
proven member need, be an industry leader, hold a higher service
standard, offer ADA members preferred pricing and support the ADA’s
mission. This agreement signifies a long-standing relationship
between CareCredit and ADA Business Resources to bring financing
options to dental patients.
“For over 15 years, CareCredit has continuously served our
members with extraordinary customer service, a product that helps
to further treatment acceptance and a deep, long-term involvement
in our community,” said Dr. James E. Mercer, Chairman, Board of
Directors, ADA Business Resources.
