Do I need to apply for care credit before I schedule a consultation?

Question

John Zavell, MD, FACS · Answer

No, it is not necessary to apply for Care Credit prior to a consultation.  In most offices, a patient care coordinator will go over the finance options and help you through the process of applying for the plan that best fits your needs, including Care Credit.

Richard H. Tholen, MD, FACS · Answer

Of course not. But your question could also have been "Do I need to find out what type of cosmetic surgery I need and the cost before I apply for Care Credit?" That might help you sort out what amounts you might want to qualify for.Most offices can give you a ballpark figure for surgery costs. Be sure to ask if the fees quoted are surgical fees only, or if they represent the entire cost (surgeon's fees, operating facility charges, anesthesia costs, medications, garments and/or implants, etc.) so you have an idea what to apply for via Care Credit. Many plastic surgeons offer no-charge consultations as well, so why not start there? Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

It all depends on the patient, I think if the patient is ready to schedule their surgical procedure and its interested in financing care credit is a great option. Easy and fast. Every single one of my patient who use care credit will continue using it for ever. It does offer great financial plans and interest for patient.
