They love it. They also used it for my wisdom teeth which helped spread out that payment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193498 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 11:46:35 +0000 tlcbaby 1193498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used it for dental work in the past. This has been a few years, but each purchase qualified as a separate "90 days with no interest" charge. So I just had to pay each off in the allotted time and I never paid any interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193408 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 10:16:50 +0000 cmomma17 1193408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: glad it worked out for you! We might need the longer term, with interest plan as well. Just weighing my options now, I hate taking on new debt but we have to take care of our health! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193407 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 10:14:54 +0000 cmomma17 1193407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I doubt we would qualify, income will be too high. </p> <p>Our dentist only has two options - pay up front in full, or sign up for care credit. DH and I both have work to be done that needs to be completed in/over the next few months and there's no way to come up with the cash needed in that timeframe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193363 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 09:30:10 +0000 yellowbird 1193363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: have you ever thought of trying a community health clinic? It can be more affordable than a private practice office especially if your income and family size would qualify for a sliding fee scale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193307 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:42:43 +0000 lilteacherbee 1193307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it a few years ago for my LASIK surgery. It worked well for me. I was just out of college, so I opted for the 48 month plan which of course had some interest. It's almost all paid off now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193284 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:13:26 +0000 cmomma17 1193284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: we are on the phone with them right now to try to find out. It was unclear from their brochure. The person on the phone is not very helpful, I don't think she understands our question :( Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193282 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:12:16 +0000 Ra 1193282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I thought the no interest would apply to all charges, the 6 months would just begin at the time of each charge?</p> <p>I could be wrong though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193277 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:09:15 +0000 cmomma17 1193277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: oh my goodness! Glad your dog is okay, what a vet bill though! </p> <p>We both need dental work and this seems to be the only option to get it done in the near future. They have 6 and 12 month options, but we would need to charge more than once, so I don't think the "no interest" would apply to anything but the first charge? Not sure if that makes sense to anyone! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193274 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:06:16 +0000 Ra 1193274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Our dogs ate a bag of raisins a few weeks before our wedding, resulting in a $3000 vet bill. It was no interest for 6 months (I believe) which was nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/care-credit#post-1193272 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 08:02:23 +0000 cmomma17 1193272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have experience with a Care Credit credit card?<br /> In our case it would be for dental work. </p>
