Is There Anybody Who Can Tell Me About Emedical Financing Solutions And Carecredit?



Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, I am without healthcare coverage, and the only way I can have WLS is to get financing. Can anyone tell me their actual experience with eMedical Financing Solutions? What about CareCredit? I heard that MedLoanFinance.com is a scam, so I need to check out financing resources carefully. Of course, their websites paint "perfect" pictures, so I need much more info than is given on their websites. How much in financing $$$ can you request? Appreciate any help on finding answers.

The hospital I work for ONLY accepts Care Credit for WLS. I have friends with it and they have not had any problems. I think they are probably the more reputable one you have mentioned

CareCredit can be used for so many places. I had filled out a thing for the medloanfinance.com and they contacted me with a work up of what they could loan me and the interest (which was crazy high). I would see how much you could get on approval through CareCredit and then look at other options.

I used care credit for mine. I have a 35 BMI with no health problems so I knew I would be self pay. Care Credit is through GE Money which does financing for most large purchases ( furniture, appliances, etc) very reputable company. Just ask the dr office what plans they offer. Mine would only give me 6 months no interest or I could pay an additional $500 to get 12 months no interest, so I opted for one of the long term fixed interest of 9.99% for 4 years. That way I know I could make the payments. Just applied on their website and gave the dr office my account number and that was it. No down payment required.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL who replied to my question. I finally feel that I have straight answers from educated people. I was feeling as if everyone who receives WLS has the benefit of some type of healthcare coverage -- except me!

Folks seem very aloof about giving straight answers to people whose only option is to self-pay. Many say that it is an option, but beyond saying it ... nothing!!! Thanks a million! I really appreciate your straight answers.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
