CareCredit

Banking, financing, and payments

CareCredit is one of the most widely recognized patient financing solutions in healthcare, operating across more than 270,000 provider and retail locations nationwide. Their mission is simple: help people get the care they want for themselves and their families by making payment manageable.

For dental practices, CareCredit is a tool for improving case acceptance by removing cost as the primary barrier to a yes.

Why TruBlu partners with CareCredit

TruBlu partners with CareCredit because unaccepted treatment is one of the most common and preventable sources of lost revenue in a dental practice.

When patients have a flexible, trusted way to pay, the conversation shifts from cost to care. CareCredit's scale and recognition make it a low-friction option for both the practice and the patient, which is why high-performing practices consistently integrate it into their financial conversations.

What CareCredit helps practices achieve

CareCredit supports practices looking to:

• Improve case acceptance by offering flexible patient payment options
• Increase over-the-counter collections through third-party financing
• Streamline the patient financing conversation at the front desk
• Reduce the number of patients who delay or decline treatment due to cost

High-functioning practices typically see about 10% of patients applying for financing, with 15 to 20% of OTC collections coming through a third-party partner like CareCredit.

Who CareCredit is best for

CareCredit is a strong fit for:

• Practices with significant unaccepted treatment in their pipeline
• Offices looking to make high-value dentistry more accessible to patients
• Teams that want in-person training and technology support around patient financing
