“The cost of healthcare has been rising for years, and out-of-pocket expenses for patients are higher than ever,” said Chuck Danner, General Manager of Payments at Nextech. “The expansion of our relationship, which now includes the addition of CareCredit into our software, empowers practices to manage a broader range of patient financial circumstances.”
The CareCredit health and wellness credit card is a way for people to pay for care not covered by insurance, including elective procedures, copays, deductibles, and coinsurance, often with special financing.
“Synchrony’s CareCredit was created with the goal of helping people pay for the health and wellness services they want for themselves and their family,” said Greg Pierce, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Health & Wellness at Synchrony. “Our expanded integration with Nextech will positively impact the patient financial experience and help further simplify provider financial workflows.”
