At Bucay Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics, we understand that some treatments can feel financially out of reach. We proudly accept CareCredit, a health-focused credit card that makes it easier to get the treatments you want, when you want them, without a large upfront payment.
Dr. Vivian Bucay and our team provide dermatological and cosmetic care in San Antonio, Texas. With two convenient locations in La Casita and Sonterra, we’re aiming to remove the barriers to your treatment options.
What Is CareCredit?
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that helps patients pay for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance. It can be used to cover a wide range of dermatology services, from cosmetic enhancements to certain medical treatments. Rather than paying your entire bill at once, you can break your balance into manageable monthly payments.
Depending on the promotion, CareCredit may offer short-term, interest-free financing options if the balance is paid in full within the promotional period. For longer-term plans, reduced APR financing may also be available.
What Services Can Be Financed?
Many of the services offered at Bucay Center are eligible for CareCredit. These may include:
- Cosmetic injectables, such as Botox and dermal fillers
- Laser treatments for skin rejuvenation or pigmentation
- Acne treatments and scar revision
- Skin tightening and resurfacing procedures
- Certain medically necessary dermatologic treatments that aren’t covered by insurance
If you’re unsure whether a specific service qualifies, our front desk team is happy to review your treatment plan and help verify eligibility.
Why Finance Your Dermatology Treatments?
Spreading out the cost of treatment into monthly payments can make care feel more manageable. Instead of delaying a cosmetic treatment or stretching your budget, CareCredit gives you the flexibility to move forward on your timeline.
Our patients appreciate having a dedicated healthcare line of credit, separate from their general credit cards. This allows you to reserve your other cards for everyday expenses while keeping healthcare costs organized and predictable.
Interest-free promotional periods can also be a practical option for patients planning higher-cost procedures. Always review the full terms of your plan to understand potential deferred interest policies.
