Patients needed a way to help pay for dental implants so they
could comfortably enjoy eating and smiling. CareCredit was born and
the brand has evolved to be a leading provider of promotional
financing to consumers for healthcare procedures and services.
The CareCredit credit card is a flexible payment option
available at more than 200,000 locations across the United States,
including veterinary, cosmetic, hearing health, dental and vision
practices, as well as health-focused retailers such as
LensCrafters, Rite-Aid and Bowflex. With nearly $70 billion of care
financed since 1987, CareCredit has helped millions of people with
everything from their family’s dental and hearing health to
veterinary care for their pets.
Along with advances in care, the CareCredit health, wellness and
personal care credit card has expanded its breadth of services and
reach during the last 30 years:
- More than 24 million accounts opened
since inception.
- More than 12,000 people apply for a
CareCredit card nearly every day to help pay for care.
- A new cardholder is approved, on
average, every 14 seconds.
- On average, more than 822,000 card
acceptance locator searches on carecredit.com every month via
desktop and mobile.
- More than two-thirds of all dental
practices and more than 7 out of 10 veterinary practices in the
nation accept CareCredit.
“We started so we could help patients move forward with care,”
said Dave Fasoli, CEO, CareCredit. “It’s still what keeps us moving
forward after 30 years. We’re proud of the fact that we’ve
continued to reliably serve healthcare providers and their patients
and clients through many changes in the healthcare environment. We
help thousands of people every day and millions of people every
year. Our focus remains offering our cardholders more ways to use
the card, in more places, for more things.”
