How to Qualify for CareCredit

CareCredit is similar to a credit card in that it is a line of credit, but you can only use it for healthcare costs. CareCredit can be used for your entire family to help pay out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your health insurance plan. CareCredit charges no interest on the balance if paid in full within six months, 12 months, 18 months or 24 months, depending on the plan you select. No interest is charged if the minimum monthly payment is made on time. CareCredit is accepted by thousands of physicians and hospitals in the USA.
