Care Credit will ask you to input an estimated fee. What this means is how much of a credit line are they hoping to be approved for. Have a conversation with the patient beforehand if they would like to apply with the hopes of having a card that will cover all the items on their treatment plan, or if they would like to use it only for a particular phase of their treatment plan. If the patient hopes to use care credit for their full treatment plan you would input the estimated fee as the total estimated cost on their treatment plan. If the patient would like to use care credit to only pay for certain phases of their treatment plan you would combine the totals of the selected phases.
