Dental industry news: Patient financing company increases approvals

IRVINE, California--Your HealthCredit has announced a solution that allows patients who are denied by traditional patient financing companies to be approved for an affordable payment plan.

By offering multiple forms of credit, Your HealthCredit makes it possible for more patients to move forward with the treatment they need with one application.

“After all of our experience in patient financing, we started Your HealthCredit because we were tired of having to say no to our doctors’ patients,” said Mike Testa, president and CEO of Your HealthCredit, and former CareCredit president for 10 years.

“It’s embarrassing for the patient and uncomfortable for the office to constantly communicate denials.”

By using multiple methods of financing, approval rates should increase above what’s currently in the market, which allows patients to receive needed care.

Patients are offered flexible payment plans to help optimize coverage for health-care needs from dental, ophthalmology, hearing, and veterinary care. Your HealthCredit offers no interest and low interest options.

Rachael Stutzman, Your HealthCredit senior vice president of sales, has more than 20 years of experience in health-care financing, and echoes Testa’s views.

“Our flexible payment plans are designed specifically as a win-win for both patients and practices,” said Stutzman.

"More patients can move forward with the care they want and need. And practices can treat more of their patients optimally. The application process is easy. Patients receive approval quickly, so they can receive treatment that same day.”
