Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2008Anyone ever heard of this?
Care Credit? (www.carecredit.com) They are like a ?credit card that allows you to pay for some types of expenses like eye care, dental care, vetenary care, etc. for 3-6 months interest free and then the interest is 11 or 12%. Apparently if an office or doctor participates in this plan, care credit pays off the doctor, and then you pay care credit like you would a credit card, except they honor the interest free portion that the doctors office offers. Very interesting and not something I have ever heard of before. I have to go for a cracked tooth next week to see if first the tooth can even be saved. If it can, will have to get a root canal and then a crown put on. If it can't be saved, then I will be sent directly to an oral surgeons office to have the tooth pulled. Either way, it will be expensive and my dental coverage won't even come close to covering it all, so the oral surgeons office told me about the care credit, otherwise I would have to shuck out a couple of hundred dollars up front to them before they would even do anything! Just wondering if anyone is familiar at all with this care credit thing? Want to see if anyone knows anything about this or has any experiences good or bad with this before I call them. . . . .

My cousin was offered this through her dentist when she had teeth extracted and a set of dentures made last year. She had a year to pay off the several thousand dollars, and was very happy with it. Ann I don't know if that's the one, but a friend of ours here has something like that. I'll ask her tomorrow what the name of it is. It seems like her had even longer to pay things off, but I may be remembering wrongly. I'll tell you more tomorrow.  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything.

J.K.M.A. I have one for medical (when I had lasik eye surgery) and another for auto repairs to pay off some major work I needed. Had no problems with them. Paid them off within the grace period though. Actually, I should say I still have them. garyZ >I don't know if that's the one, but a friend of ours here has something >like [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] >> >> 2.) J.K.M.A. I haven't used it yet, but all the dentists I have been considering are doing it. I guess it's so that they don't have to be bothered with billing people every month.

J.K.M.A. OK, I emailed Linda, because I forgot to ask her at church yesterday, in the midst of a costo flare that seriously complicated talking. It's Care Credit that she has - she also signed up for it through her dentist. I remember her mentioning that it worked well for her and she'd found it useful.

Will likely decide tomorrow (tues) once the endodontist figures out what needs to be done with the tooth and whether or not it can be saved or whether it has to be pulled and I am sent to an oral surgeon! Yuck---I hate going to the dentists!!! . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A.
