CareCredit Adds Free Practice Management
Audio Program to Educational Library
CareCredit is expanding its educational library with The Art of
Successful Patient Conversations, a new audio program by Katherine Eitel
Belt, CEO and founder of LionSpeak, a company that aims to help professionals communicate in a powerful and authentic way.
In the program, Belt provides insight and practical tools that enable
teams to have comfortable and effective financial conversations on the
phone and in the practice. She shares how to uncover the team's belief
systems about money and how those belief systems can affect financial
conversations. She also shares how teams can inadvertently discourage
treatment acceptance, and how to effectively respond when a new
patient's first question is, "Do you take my insurance?"
Practices that currently accept the CareCredit health care credit card
can request a free copy of this audio program by contacting their practice
development team at 800-859-9975, Option 1, then 6. Practices that don't
use CareCredit can call 800-300-3046, Option 5, to request their free copy.
