Care Credit

I had a client ask me if I accept this form of payment. Has anyone heard of it? It's a credit card strictly for medical stuff that insurance refuses to pay for, massage, chiropractors, etc. Any experience?

My wife got Care Credit for some dental work she got done. They have interest free low payments, but if you don't pay the balance off by the end of the teaser rate they hit you with back interest and increase the interest rate. So long as your careful to divide the number of months by the balance and pay them on time there's not an issue. If I remember correctly I just paid the entire amount off in a lump sum a few months after we started paying it. As for using it to pay for massages, I can't imagine how it would benefit anyone. It's not like your doing back surgery for 10k and they can pay if off over time or your giving them daily massages to cure some back issue and they would never have to return and could pay off the loan balance.

A Chiropractor suggested CareCredit.com. Considering being a Medical Massage Therapist.

What I have been told by CareCredit.com - is they do not accept Massage Therapist....?
