The Real Cost

Five words that cost your practice $14,000:

“Let me think about it.”

 

A patient walks in ready for a $4,500 procedure. They hit a payment wall, get declined by your single lender, and leave. They don’t come back. You don’t just lose $4,500 — you lose their lifetime value.

How It Works for Patients

Three steps. That’s it.

01
Patient applies once

A 3-minute application on their phone — branded to your practice. One form, not five. Soft credit check only.

02
They get matched to multiple lenders

Ottri routes their application through multiple lenders in sequence — finding the best available offer based on their profile. No repeated applications, no file damage.

03
They pick an offer, you get paid

Patient selects their best option. Funds go directly to your practice. Your front desk never plays loan officer.

Elective procedures can be life-changing, but many patients delay care because of upfront costs. ElectiveMedicalFinancing.com helps practices offer transparent, installment-based financing options so patients can move forward with treatment, and you can get paid faster.

With one simple application and access to multiple lending options, your patients can find a plan that fits their budget while your team keeps scheduling and collections moving smoothly.

Why Elective Medical Financing Matters

Offering patient financing isn’t just a “nice to have.” It’s a practical way to remove friction at the point of decision, improve treatment acceptance, and create a better patient experience without forcing your practice to become a lender.

When patients understand their monthly payment options right away, they’re more likely to proceed confidently, and your staff spends less time navigating awkward money conversations.

Expand Patient Access to Elective Procedures

Elective care often competes with everyday expenses. Financing can turn a high out-of-pocket cost into a manageable monthly payment, helping more patients say “yes” to treatment.

Common patient outcomes when financing is offered clearly and early include:

  • Higher treatment plan acceptance
  • Fewer delayed or canceled procedures
  • Better patient satisfaction around affordability and transparency
  • Less price-shopping when options are presented in-office and online

Enhance Practice Cash Flow and Revenue

Financing can help stabilize cash flow by reducing reliance on large one-time payments. Instead of waiting for patients to “save up,” you can keep schedules full and revenue consistent.

Practice benefits frequently include:

  • Increased scheduled procedures and higher case acceptance
  • Reduced accounts receivable pressure
  • Fewer manual payment follow-ups for your team
  • More predictable daily collections and production planning

Stay Competitive in a Growing Market

Patients compare providers online, and affordability is a factor in their decision. Practices that make financing easy to understand and apply for often win more consultations and convert more of those into booked procedures.

Financing can support your marketing and growth by:

  • Improving lead-to-appointment conversion
  • Increasing consultation-to-procedure conversion
  • Strengthening your value proposition without discounting your services
  • Helping your practice compete with larger groups that already offer payment solutions

How Our Financing Works

ElectiveMedicalFinancing.com is designed to be simple for patients and operationally light for your staff. Patients complete one application, get evaluated quickly, and you get a clear path to funding and scheduling.

Your team stays focused on care delivery while the financing process runs in parallel with your workflow.

One Simple Application

Patients apply using a streamlined experience designed for speed and clarity. The application can be shared in-office, on your website, or via a direct link that your team texts or emails.

What patients can expect:

  • A straightforward application experience
  • Clear presentation of available terms (where approved)
  • A process that supports mobile and desktop completion

Instant Multiple-Lender Underwriting

Instead of forcing your practice into a single-lender limitation, we help route applicants through a multi-lender approach designed to increase the likelihood of finding an approval and an appropriate offer.

Key advantages of a multi-lender approach:

  • More coverage across different credit profiles
  • Better matching for terms that align with patient needs
  • Less “one-and-done” rejection frustration for patients

Rapid Approvals and Funding

Speed matters. When patients are ready to proceed, delays can cause drop-off. Our process is built to support quick decisions and prompt next steps so your team can schedule sooner.

Operationally, this supports:

  • Faster “yes” decisions at the consultation stage
  • Less time spent on manual follow-ups
  • A smoother handoff between patient decision and procedure scheduling

One Simple Application

Financing works best when it feels like a natural part of the patient journey, not a separate system. We help you introduce it at the right moments: marketing, consultation, pre-op, and scheduling.

Common placement points include:

  • Website “Payments & Financing” page
  • Procedure pages (e.g., LASIK, implants, cosmetic)
  • Consultation follow-up emails and texts
  • In-office tablet or front-desk workflow

Why Choose ElectiveMedicalFinancing.com

You’re not just adding financing. You’re choosing how easy it is for patients to apply, how reliably your team can operationalize it, and how confidently you can present it as part of your patient experience.

We focus on approvals, simplicity, and practice-friendly implementation without adding platform costs.

Higher Approval Rates With a Multi-Lender Approach

A single lending option can leave too many patients without a path forward. Our model is designed to increase approvals by matching applicants to multiple potential funding sources.

What practices are typically valued most:

  • Stronger approval coverage across patient credit profiles
  • Fewer lost cases due to “no financing available” outcomes
  • More opportunities to save procedures that would otherwise be postponed

No Setup Fees, No Monthly Fees, No Platform Fees

Practices shouldn’t have to pay extra to offer patients a way to pay. Our goal is to remove barriers to adoption and make onboarding straightforward.

What “no fees” means for your practice:

  • No upfront setup cost to launch
  • No recurring platform subscription
  • No monthly maintenance charges for access to the system

Dedicated Practice Support

A financing tool only works if your team knows how to present it and where it fits in the workflow. We provide support tailored to real-world practice environments, including front desks, treatment coordinators, and managers.

Support can include:

  • Implementation guidance and rollout checklist
  • Staff training on how to introduce financing ethically and effectively
  • Messaging templates for calls, texts, and emails
  • Best practices for where to place financing on your website

HIPAA- and PCI-Compliant Security

Patient trust is non-negotiable. Your financing solution must respect privacy and protect data. Our platform is built with security standards in mind and is designed to support compliant operations.

Security priorities include:

  • Protecting sensitive patient and payment information
  • Supporting secure online experiences (including SSL)
  • Ensuring appropriate handling of patient data in the financing flow

Frequently Asked Questions

Elective medical financing is often new to patients and sometimes new to staff. These answers are written to help you address common questions quickly and accurately.

What is elective medical financing?

Elective medical financing is a payment solution that allows patients to pay for qualified elective procedures over time through installment-based financing, rather than paying the full amount upfront.

Is Ottri a lender?

No. Ottri is a technology-only platform. We don't originate loans, make credit decisions, or hold any patient debt. We are financial infrastructure that connects clinics to multiple lenders through a single integration. Lenders lend. Ottri routes.

What problem does Ottri solve?

The cascading decline. Today, when a patient gets declined by one lender, their chances with the next one drop. An application with a 72% initial probability of approval falls to 41% after one decline, 12% after two, and 3% after three. Not because of credit quality, but because of the order. A patient walks away from a procedure they need because their one financing option said no. They rarely come back. Every single-lender setup exposes clinics to this invisible damage. Ottri eliminates it.

How does the multi-lender waterfall actually work?

One application, one patient experience, lenders taken care of behind the scenes. Our engine routes each application through an optimized sequence of lenders based on credit profile, ticket size, vertical, and lender capacity. If the first lender declines, the next is pinged automatically. The patient never knows. The impact depends on your current setup: clinics with no financing see a massive uplift in closed deals. Those with a single lender see significantly more approvals from deals that would have been lost to decline. Even clinics on another multi-lender platform benefit from Ottri's routing optimization and lender mix.

Is the credit check a soft pull or hard pull?

Pre-qualification is always a soft pull. No impact on the patient's credit score. Some lenders only require a soft pull throughout the entire process. When a hard pull is needed, it only happens after the patient reviews and accepts a specific offer.

What does the patient experience look like?

Branded under your clinic's identity: their logo, colors, and domain. The patient receives a financing link via SMS, email, QR code, or website embed, completes a 3-minute mobile application, and sees personalized offers. The application page shows "Powered by Ottri," and once a lender is selected, the lender is clearly identified to the patient.

What does it cost the clinic?

No subscription fee. No setup fee. No monthly minimum. Financing costs are built into the lender's rate sheet as a clinic fee on funded transactions only. Fees vary by product: some products carry zero cost to the clinic, while others have a higher clinic fee but significantly help with conversions and closing rates. Clinics can turn promotions and buy-down products on or off to protect their margins, but lower-cost products typically come with lower approval rates. If financing isn't used, there is zero cost.

Is there exclusivity or a commitment required?

No exclusivity. No long-term commitment. Clinics can run Ottri alongside existing financing solutions. That said, Ottri works best when it's the first option tested. Due to the cascading decline effect, approval rates drop the more lenders a patient applies to before reaching Ottri. First position in the workflow gets the best results.

When does the clinic get paid?

Funding is typically same day or next business day, up to a maximum of 48 hours. Funds go directly to the clinic's bank account.

Is the financing non-recourse to the clinic?

Yes. Patient loans originated through the platform are non-recourse to the clinic. Once funded, the lender owns the obligation. The clinic receives payment and has no liability for patient default. Specific terms are governed by each lender's program.

What tools do I get as a partner?

The Ottri Partner Portal is your operating system. Real-time dashboard with funding volume trends, full clinic portfolio management, application pipeline visibility, residual tracking with tier progression, integration management, team roles and permissions, enablement resources, and a named Ottri relationship manager. You see everything your clinics are doing, in real time.
