Costa Mesa, Calif., April 4, 2016 – CareCredit, a leading provider of patient financing, today announced a new program in collaboration with orthopedics sports medicine leader DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine (DePuy Mitek). Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, CareCredit will be the preferred patient financing option recommended through the DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine network of providers.
DePuy Mitek develops and manufactures orthopedic sports medicine products, soft tissue repair devices, joint movement solutions, and minimally invasive and arthroscopic solutions related to sports and physical activity, as well as degenerative tissue conditions.
CareCredit research shows the availability of financing options plays a key role in how consumers approach their healthcare decisions. According to a 2014 survey,* more consumers considered or researched financing (73%) than researched procedures or treatments (70%). The same study showed the likelihood of consumers applying for or using a healthcare credit card increases as the cost of care increases. Additionally, half of respondents (50%) who did not have a CareCredit credit card stated they would consider financing if it enabled them to purchase the healthcare service, or related items, immediately.
