Chicago – April 27, 2023– The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) today announced that, following rigorous review, Synchrony (NYSE: SYF) has once again achieved the “Peer Reviewed by HFMA®” designation for its CareCredit credit card.

Synchrony’s CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card that patients can use to pay for deductibles, for treatments and procedures that are partially covered or not covered by insurance, and for other health and wellness services for individuals and their pets.  It is accepted at more than 266,000 provider and retail locations nationwide.

Patients can conveniently apply for CareCredit in their provider’s office or on their mobile device, computer or over the phone, and find out within minutes if they have been approved. They can select from short-term and long-term financing options. Additionally, patients can use the CareCredit payment calculator to help estimate their monthly payments based on the amount of care financed and the financing option selected.

“In today’s complex financial landscape, it’s important for providers to be able to easily identify third-party financial partners they can trust – which is why we’re honored and excited to be recognized once again by HFMA,” said Shannon Burke, general manager, Health & Wellness, Synchrony. “With a comprehensive suite of financing solutions, Synchrony equips health and wellness providers with the modern technology and data tools to meet the demands of today’s consumers, while also improving financial workflows and simplifying revenue cycle management.” 

HFMA's Peer Review process provides healthcare financial managers with an objective, third-party evaluation of business solutions used in the healthcare workplace. The rigorous, 11-step process includes a Peer Review panel review composed of current customers, prospects who have not made a purchase, and industry experts. The Peer Review status of the healthcare business solution and its performance claims are based on effectiveness, quality and usability, price, value, and customer and technical support.

“We’re pleased to have Synchrony’s CareCredit credit card renew their HFMA Peer Reviewed designation,” says HFMA President and CEO Joseph J. Fifer, FHFMA, CPA. “The HFMA Peer Review process assures our members, through a rigorous evaluation, that the reviewed healthcare business solution meets an objective, third-party assessment of overall effectiveness, quality, and value."
