How It Works
We've simplified the financing process for everyone:
1. For your patient.
They complete and submit the application form in our brochure and return by fax or mail. They can also apply online or call in to apply over the phone. We will then communicate with them directly.
2. Between your patient and us.
Upon approval, patients receive a loan agreement. They sign it and return it to us with copies of their supporting documents.
3. Between the practitioner and us.
Credit Medical notifies you of confirmed patient financing through a "Financing Confirmation and Funds Request" form.
4. For the practitioner.
All you have to do is sign and return the form. Payment will be issued as per the requested payment date prior to the procedure.
