I cannot afford to pay all at once. How do I set up payment plans??

Question

I am only 33 and fortunately I look a lot like my mommy, but unfortunately I inherited this heavy brow. It has come to the the point where it feels heavy on my eyes and I believe it is affecting my Vision. Anyhow, I cAnnot afford to pay all that at once. How do I set up payment plans??

Evan Ransom, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for reaching out. This is a common issue and many options exist. There are credit cards specifically designed for medical and cosmetic treatments, such as Care Credit and My Medical Loan. In addition, some plastic surgeons will offer payment plans directly. Best of luck moving forward!

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

As my colleagues have mentioned CareCredit is the largest provider of health care financing. They also have some no-interest options if the balance is paid off within 6-12 months. My office also has arrangements with another large commercial bank to offer financing. However, both options require decent to good credit scores. On a case by case basis, we and other offices do offer payment plans but most of the balance needs to be paid off prior to the surgical date. Financing is ideal but if you do not qualify, ask your chosen surgeon's office what options they would be willing to offer you. As a last resort, if no other options are available, come up with a saving plan and put away funds until you've reached your goal. Most plastic surgery quotes are good for 3-6 months which will allow you to know exactly how much you will need to save. I hope this is helpful for you.

Cosmetic surgery payment plan is possible. We use Care Credit as do some other surgeons to help patients with their financing.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

There are many different pain and alternatives for cosmetic surgery such as credit cards, personal loans from the local bank, and installment payments.

Ronald V. DeMars, MD (Retired) · Answer

Care Credit is used in most offices. It is a company that finances medical expenses and you can set it up online. But your credit has to be good. Another option some offices offer is a layaway plan. Make payments to the office at a convenient amount and after all payments are completed you can schedule your surgery. You will not find any offices that will do the surgery withot complete payment in advance. I'm sure the reasons are obvious.
