Executive Briefing: 22 Executive Briefing financial obligations, ASCs can improve the financial experi- ence by helping patients better prepare to meet those obliga- tions. Offering more payment options can help provide a sense of choice and control, and it may make it easier for patients to fit payments into their budgets. For example, a third-party pay- ment solution like CareCredit — a dedicated health, wellness and personal care credit card — means patients won't have to cover their costs with cash up front, or use the cards they may rely on for life's other expenses.* In addition, promotional financ- ing available through CareCredit means cardholders can meet their payment obligation immediately, while making monthly payments over time to pay down the balance. Providers receive payment in two business days, with no recourse if the patient delays payment or defaults.** When patients can get the care they want and need today — and providers can receive payment without delay — the financial experience is better all around — truly a win-win.
