Overview

CareCredit can verify if patients prequalify for a credit offer using the QuickScreenQuickscreen is a CareCredit process that enables you to determine if your patients are pre-approved for the CareCredit credit card before they apply, providing you the ability to confidently discuss their available financing options, which can help alleviate cost as a barrier to care.

Using the Integration

There are two ways to have your patients pre-approved.

  1. Blueprint OMS will automatically gather information on patients awaiting pre-approval for newly scheduled appointments every night. This data will then be transmitted to CareCredit for the pre-approval process. Subsequently, each morning, CareCredit will return the approval details to update the patient file and appointment information, providing you with insights into their pre-approval status (refer to the screenshots below).

  2. In addition to the automated process, users have the option to manually request a QuickScreen approval by right-clicking on an appointment and selecting "Request QuickScreen".
