CareCredit, Henry Schein Financial Services complete agreement CareCredit, a leading provider of promo- tional health-care financing through its credit card, has finalized a new multi-year agreement with Henry Schein Financial Services LLC. Under the new agreement, CareCredit will provide patient financing services and offer integrated solutions with Henry Schein’s practice management software programs: Dentrix® and Easy Dental® for dental practitioners and AVImark®, ImproMed® ImproMed Triple Crown® for veterinarians. The added feature will make it convenient for dental and veterinary practices to offer financing options to help patients and pet owners re- ceive needed care and services. Infinity™ and The alliance will also include comarket- ing programs and collaboration on pro- spective services. The availability of the pa- tient financing services will be promoted by Henry Schein’s field sales consultants. CareCredit research shows the availabil- ity of financing options plays a key role in how patients approach their health care decisions. According to “Path to Purchase Research,” conducted by Rothstein Tauber Inc. on behalf of CareCredit (2014), more pa- tients considered or researched financing (73 percent) than researched procedures or treatments (70 percent). The same study showed the likelihood of patients apply- ing for or using a health care credit card increases as the cost of care increases. Ad- ditionally, half of respondents (50 percent) who did not have a CareCredit credit card stated they would consider financing if it enabled them to purchase the health-care service, or related items, immediately. “Health care today offers an increased array of treatment options to patients. For some, the biggest obstacle to obtaining treatment may be financing for elective or cosmetic procedures and services that may not be covered by insurance,” said Keith Drayer, vice president, Henry Schein Finan- cial Services.
