Two ways to finance a procedure
| Feature | PatientFi | Loan-finder form on this page |
|---|---|---|
| Who lends | PatientFi and its lending partners | Independent lenders in a third-party network |
| Where you apply | Through an enrolled provider or search.patientfi.com | Right here, before choosing a provider |
| Where you can use it | Only at the provider that sends the charge | Funds go to you and can be used at any provider |
| 0% offers | Deferred-interest promotions available | Rarely; most offers are fixed-rate |
| Credit check | Soft check to apply | Usually soft to check offers; hard if you accept |
Applying for PatientFi itself
Confirm your provider offers PatientFi
Ask the front desk, or search PatientFi’s own provider directory at search.patientfi.com.
Use the practice’s link or QR code
This ties the application to your provider so the approval can be used there.
Unfreeze your credit and apply
The application takes about 30 seconds and uses a soft check.
Details on what is reviewed are in our requirements guide.
Using the loan-finder form
If your clinic does not offer PatientFi, or you would rather have funds you can use anywhere, the form on this page lets you check personal loan offers from a lender network. It is not that application, and we are not a lender. Rates, amounts and terms are set by each lender, and not everyone qualifies. We may be paid when you submit the form or accept an offer.
Compare any offer’s APR and total cost with a PatientFi fixed-rate plan before accepting. A personal loan has no deferred-interest risk, but its APR can be higher than a promotional plan you pay off on time.
