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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
