Healthcare financing
Healthcare payment cards are an option to pay for treatments and procedures not covered by insurance. CareCredit’s website says they help make “treatments and procedures you want possible today.”
We’ve heard very good things about CareCredit, but we do not have a relationship with them and this is not an endorsement. We simply want pass along resources we think people may find helpful.
