Outside the Office: Mobile Health CareCredit Launches Proprietary Digital Card Technology for Cardholders and Providers By Staff Thursday, April 23, 2015 12:05 AM More Images Product: CareCredit Digital Credit Card Top Line: CareCredit, from Synchrony Financial, is introduces a digital card that enables mobile payment functionality for all CareCredit cardholders and providers. Developed to address the rise in mobile engagement by CareCredit customers—unique visitors to the CareCredit mobile website are up 59 percent year-over-year—this new offering provides secure mobile payment options for whichever digital wallet customers and providers choose. Close Up: The digital card, successfully piloted in 2014 with a number of Synchrony Financial retail partners, allows cardholders to access a digital version of their CareCredit healthcare credit card on their mobile device, eliminating the need to bring their card with them at the time of care. This is particularly convenient for existing CareCredit cardholders who account for nearly half of all CareCredit purchase volume. The digital card is seamlessly integrated into CareCredit’s existing mobile servicing site, accessed via www.mysynchrony.com/carecredit, which allows cardholders to easily service their accounts on mobile devices. The digital card is device agnostic and does not require any new hardware or mobile application download, providing flexibility and ease-of-payment through any accepted mobile wallet or existing point of sale method. The digital card establishes a secure customer enrollment and authentication process and offers a unique mobile device provisioning through the “add to home screen” feature. After the initial set-up, the digital card is accessible by simply entering a PIN chosen during the enrollment process. Vital Stats: CareCredit is a healthcare credit card for patient financing of health related products and services. It is offered at 180,000 providers in vision, dental, cosmetic and other fields. www.carecredit.com; (800) 300-3046; www.synchronyfinancial.com For more on Mobile Health, visit VM’s Intelligent Office
