Healthier patients and healthier practices with CareCredit
Everyone remembers the one who got away:
The patient whom you worked with and cared for, who accepted that a specific course of treatment was the right decision. The same patient who then promptly walked out your door, never to return.

There are many reasons why case acceptance is one of the biggest challenges in dentistry today. Many patients put off treatments and procedures simply because they cannot afford to pay at the current time. But with Eaglesoft 17's integration of CareCredit, it's easier to offer patients access to the care they need so the patient will not end up as another one who got away.
As a healthcare-only credit card, CareCredit allows patients to pay for treatment over time instead of in a lump sum. Offering CareCredit removes the accounts receivable responsibilities from the office and allows you to focus on recommending and providing the best care for your patients. And through CareCredit, the practice is still paid immediately, with no waiting period, financing or delays.
“It's truly a win-win scenario, which is why we were excited to integrate CareCredit into Eaglesoft 17,” Patterson Technology Marketing Manager Jana Berghoff said. “This step is a perfect match for Patterson's goal of enhancing the patient experience and practice lifestyle - it does both at the same time.”
The benefits for the practice are many. First and foremost, the system is simple and doesn't require any additional software or equipment. Everything the practice needs is already in place. It's also fast: the patient application automatically populates with information from Eaglesoft, making it faster than ever for patients to apply for a CareCredit credit card.
The integration of CareCredit and Eaglesoft is also efficient. Whether a practice already uses CareCredit or implements it because of the seamless interaction with Eaglesoft, the results will be instantly noticeable. Team members can spend less time searching for information, filing paperwork, entering patient details and switching between programs or equipment.
