Richard J. Bruneteau, MD · Answer

It’s
reasonable for a patient to utilize her husband’s Care Credit provided she has
appropriate authorization.  If you’re
considering this option it’s important to contact Care Credit and follow their
appropriate procedures.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Care credit policies should be confirmed with the company, as you do not want to have an issue with the husband or the company later.

Thanks for your question. It has not been a problem in the past when the spouse is outside the country as long you are authorized too. We see this a lot with our armed forces. Best wishes - Dr. Aldo.

Even with autherization from your husband, it is not appropriate or acceptable to use your husband's card, since he is out of the country and is unable to sign for the charges.

	He can contest the charges since he did not sign for it

Thank you for the question. The easiest way to go around this question is to call care credit. If you are not an authorized user, then your husband to ask care credit to give you the authorization to use it. Good Luck.
