WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A CARECREDIT CERTIFICATION?

CareCredit has recently implemented a CareCredit Certification for enrolled
Providers in an effort to ensure that every CareCredit card applicant is given a
clear, easy-to-understand explanation of financing options available. This
Certification acknowledges the Provider's dedication and knowledge in providing
consistent and accurate information to their patients/clients, so the
patient/client can make well-informed decisions about their care. This
Certification is renewed every two years to help ensure that patients/clients
are given the most current information.

Certified!

HOW DO I SUBMIT A CUSTOMER DECEASED NOTIFICATION?

To assist during this difficult time, Synchrony offers an online deceased
notification form option to provide the Bank with the notification of the
passing of the cardholder. The account record will be updated upon receipt of
your submission. 'We may reach back out to the Representative of the cardholder
if there are any other additional questions.

WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT INTEREST RATES ON THE CARECREDIT CREDIT CARD

The standard Cardholder's APR is 29.99%. Your account's APR may be different.
Existing cardholders should see their credit card agreement for applicable
terms. The Minimum Interest Charge is $2.

Our No interest if Paid in Full Within 6, 12, 18 and 24 month financing options
(sometimes called Deferred Interest) let you pay for purchases of $200 or more
with minimum monthly payments made throughout the duration of your promotional
period. Interest accrues during the promotional period but will not be charged
if you pay your balance in full by the end of the promotional period.*

Our Reduced APR special financing options of 24, 36, 48, and 60 months are for
larger purchase amounts, letting you make monthly payments with a reduced,
interest rate over the duration of your promotional period. Purchases of $1,000
or more may be eligible for a 24 months offer with a 17.90% APR, a 36 months
offer with a 18.90% APR or a 48 months offer with a 19.90% APR. Purchases of
$2,500 or more may be eligible for a 60 months offer with a 20.90% APR.


WHAT HAPPENS IF I APPLY WITH A CO-SIGNER?

Your joint-applicant is applying jointly with you for credit. If approved, the
joint-applicant will also receive a CareCredit credit card and be jointly
responsible for the account including the charges of any authorized user.


MY PROVIDER SAID I CAN AVOID PAYING INTEREST, SO WHY IS THERE AN INTEREST RATE
LISTED ON THE APPLICATION?

For Deferred Interest/No Interest if Paid in Full promotional financing options,
no interest will be charged on your promotional balance if you pay your balance
in full by the promotional due date. If your promotional purchase is not paid in
full by the end of the promotional period, interest will be charged to your
account from the purchase date. The CareCredit credit card is also accepted at
some retailers where special financing options are not available. For those
purchases, standard account terms apply.

For complete details on your CareCredit account, consult your Credit Card
Account Agreement found within the application.


WHAT DOES “PREQUALIFICATION” MEAN AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Prequalification lets you know if you are likely to be approved for a CareCredit
credit card. Plus, it’s quick and there’s no impact to your credit score to
check. If you prequalify and then you apply, there will be a hard inquiry on
your credit report.


WILL PREQUALIFYING IMPACT MY CREDIT SCORE?

Submitting the prequalification form allows us to use your information to see if
you’re likely to be approved with no impact to your credit score, but the
prequalification process will result in a soft inquiry that will not impact your
credit score.


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SOFT INQUIRY AND A HARD INQUIRY?

Soft inquiries usually occur when lenders are considering you for prequalified
offers of credit. Only you and your credit bureau can see them on your credit
report, and soft inquiries don’t affect your credit score. Hard inquiries
typically occur when you apply for a credit card, mortgage or other loan. Other
lenders can see hard inquires, and hard inquiries could affect your credit
score.


ARE PREQUALIFIED OFFERS GUARANTEED?

No, prequalified offers are not guaranteed. But, you are very likely to be
approved. You’ll still need to complete a full application for final decision,
which will result in a hard inquiry.


HOW LONG IS MY PREQUALIFICATION OFFER GOOD FOR?

A prequalification offer is good for the current browser session only. After
that, you can submit a new prequalification request. It is not possible to query
or search for a previous prequalification offer.


WHAT IF I DON’T PREQUALIFY?

If you don’t receive an offer to apply, you can consider applying with a joint
applicant.


HOW DOES THE PREQUALIFICATION PROCESS WORK?

The prequalification process is simple!

 * Start the prequalification process by clicking “Check Now”.
 * Enter all requested information.
 * Find out if you prequalify.
 * If you receive an offer, you must apply during the same browser session.




CAN I PREQUALIFY OVER THE PHONE?

Currently, prequalification is only available online. You can apply over the
phone, toll free, at (800) 677-0718 or in person at a provider office (Must be
18 or older to apply, must be 21 or older to apply by phone).


ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL ACTIONS NEEDED TO TAKE AFTER RECEIVING THE
PREQUALIFICATION OFFER?

Yes, you’ll need to confirm you received the Terms and Conditions, accept the
prequalification offer, and submit your application.


HOW DO I PAY MY DOCTOR OR PROVIDER ONLINE?

sister’s LASIK treatment – CareCredit makes it easy for you to pay on time. Make

balances from $1 up to your available credit line.


CAN I PAY FOR MULTIPLE PROCEDURES AT ONE TIME WITH MY CARECREDIT HEALTH AND

for your continued use anywhere the CareCredit credit card is accepted. Using
your card at least once a year will help you keep your account active.
