DENTAL PRACTICES CAN NOW TRANSACT CARECREDIT DIRECTLY FROM THEIR SOFTDENT PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Costa Mesa, Calif. – CareCredit, a leading provider of patient financing, has integrated a transaction feature into the new version 16 of CS Softdent by Carestream Dental. The CareCredit healthcare credit card is accepted at over 100,000 dental practices nationwide.
Now dental practices can submit CareCredit applications and process transactions without leaving their CS Softdent Practice Management Software. This new transaction feature saves valuable time and makes it easier for busy practices to help patients get care. According to Dave Fasoli, president, CareCredit, “We understand how busy today’s dental teams are. The new transaction feature in CS Softdent streamlines the patient financing process so dental teams can spend more time assisting patients. This newest feature is part of our ongoing commitment to simplify systems within the practice in order to benefit the teams and patients.” In addition to the new transaction feature, the CS Softdent V 16.2 update also includes a new account lookup feature that makes it easy for practices to access a patient’s account information if the patient doesn’t have their CareCredit card available. “An important part of software updates is incorporating new features that will benefit practices and their patients,” according to Jeffrey Urkevich, senior product line manager, CS Softdent. “These new features can help practices provide greater access to crucial oral health by giving patients a comfortable way to pay and may also help increase patient loyalty.”
Version 16 of CS Softdent is available now. Dental practices that currently use CS Softdent and have a support contract can upgrade to the new version of software for free. Practices currently accepting CareCredit who upgrade to the newest version of CS Softdent can immediately begin processing transactions in addition to submitting CareCredit applications through their software.
