CareCredit (Patient financing program)***
Preparing Patients for the Cost of Dentistry
Cost remains one of the top barriers to treatment acceptance. According to the 2023 Synchrony Dental Lifetime of Care Study 58% of surveyed consumers expressed that dental care is not affordable. To view a short video on the study, go to https://youtu.be/nvJ7VKSJNxg
This perception may be one of the reasons the study found:
- Only 75% of respondents went to see their general dentist in the past 12 months. Of those who did not, 54% cited “expenses” as the reason.
- 30% of respondents said they would hold off on dental care if cost was $500 or less.
- 52% would hold off on dental care if cost was $1,000 or less.
Providing payment options, especially those with promotional financing, like the CareCredit credit card may help. 58% of study participants indicated they would probably or definitely choose a payment option that provided predictable, set, equal payments. And now it’s even easier for patients to learn about and see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card (with no impact to their credit score) privately and securely using your Custom Link.

LOUISIANA DENTAL SERVICES GROUP PURCHASING ORGANIZATION AGREEMENT
Pursuant to a vendor agreement (the “Agreement”), Louisiana Dental Services (“LDS”) has formed a group purchasing organization (“GPO”). The GPO consists of all Louisiana Dental Association (“LDA”) members. By virtue of your LDA membership, you are a member of this GPO. The GPO was formed to leverage purchases of dental supplies from TDSC.com, powered by Henry Schein (“TDSC”). The LDS’s GPO enables members to secure discounts for these dental supplies from TDSC and create a revenue source for LDS.
In addition to the discounts the GPO obtains for LDA members on their purchases, LDS will receive an administrative fee not to exceed 3% of net sales during the first 5 years of the term of the Agreement. “Net sales” meaning gross sales of products purchased by GPO members through the TDSC website less returns, allowances, credits, sales or use taxes, shipping charges, etc. LDS shall disclose to the GPO members annually the total amount of administrative fees received by LDS and any other information it is required to disclose pursuant to 42 C.F.R. 1001.952(j) and other applicable law.
LDA members are free to purchase dental supplies from any source they like. The establishment of the LDS GPO was only to secure discounts for LDA members on quality dental supplies and generate a revenue source for LDS. There is no obligation on the part of LDA members to utilize the GPO for their purchases of dental supplies.
By purchasing dental supplies through TDSC you acknowledge the establishment of the GPO, your appointment of LDS as the administrator of the GPO, your agreement that you are a GPO member and your agreement to the terms described above.
