Each morning when you open your practice doors, there’s one thing on your mind—supporting
clients and providing the best care possible for their furry best friends. It’s what you love to do,
and why you got into the veterinary profession in the first place!
But we all know that running a practice is not as simple as providing care and then locking up.
It can be a delicate and complicated juggling act of managing the business side of your
practice—such as scheduling, billing and collections—and focusing on providing an excellent
client experience. So what can you and your practice do to alleviate some of this stress for you
and your clients? Let’s look into how integrating your practice management software with
CareCredit can help simplify the financing experience for you, your practice and your clients.
Easier cost conversations
Treatment can be expensive, which can make it difficult for the client to move forward—with
effects like a strained client-provider relationship, lack of follow-through on a full treatment plan
or even worse, a blow to the health of the pet.
Offering a financing solution, like the CareCredit pet and healthcare credit card, can help ease
these conversations, and because it is easily integrated into Covetrus software, you have a
solution at your fingertips. You can easily see if your client already has CareCredit, so when the
time comes for the payment conversation, you can either reassure them that they can pay for
treatment over time with their card, or invite them to apply, get a quick credit decision, get the
treatment they want or need right then and pay over time with flexible payments instead of all at
once.*
Faster and more efficient billing
It’s probably no surprise that according to CareCredit’s 2023 Staff Burnout Survey, one of the
major contributors to burnout among healthcare professionals is red tape and
stress—specifically “documentation and regulatory issues.”** When people decide to go into
healthcare, they do it to provide care and make people’s and pet’s lives better. However, if they
are stuck spending excess time on tasks that take them away from caring for clients, they may
feel less motivated and feel that their job is not making an impact
CareCredit features like secure account look-up, automatic posting to the ledger and the ability
to view upcoming appointments in your Covetrus software allow you to streamline the tasks you
do every day with no additional login. This way, your staff can spend less time at a computer or
behind a desk, and more time doing what they love—providing care.
