The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Partners with CareCredit to Help Improve the Financial Experience for Orthopaedic Surgeons and Patients
"When it comes to musculoskeletal care, the AAOS is committed to supporting our members in providing the highest quality care possible to their patients," said
"Rising out-of-pocket costs are creating new practice management challenges by generating a greater volume of patient accounts receivable," said
CareCredit, a Synchrony solution, allows patients to get the care they need by offering payment options that give them flexibility to pay deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance and other out-of-pocket healthcare costs over time. Once cardholders are approved for CareCredit, they can continue to use the CareCredit credit card throughout CareCredit's network of more than 230,000 healthcare locations and select health-focused retailers.
Offering patient payment options as part of the pre-treatment financial discussion can help solve challenges for both patients and healthcare teams, and CareCredit offers the experience and resources needed to help orthopaedic practices engage with patients to inform them of financial resources and available payment solutions easily and more effectively.
CareCredit is currently accepted across more than 30 medical specialty areas, including physical therapy, durable medical equipment, imaging, labs, ambulatory surgery centers, anesthesiology, primary care and general practice, women's health, and urgent care. In addition to its partnership with the AAOS, CareCredit has relationships with the
