Elective Medical Financing – FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions – Platform

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.

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 types of financing products are available?

The platform covers a range of products across the credit spectrum: installment loans with fixed terms, promotional rates (like deferred interest or reduced APR periods), and options for patients across all credit tiers from prime to subprime. The specific products available depend on the lenders active in the waterfall and the patient's credit profile. Clinics don't need to manage this. The engine handles product matching automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions – Pricing & Commercial

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 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.

What sub-verticals and states do you cover?

We cover the elective medical vertical: dental, cosmetic, vision, hair restoration, dermatology, and more. Coverage spans all 50 states through our lender network. If there's a specific sub-vertical you're unsure about, check with your Ottri partner manager.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions – Compliance & Operations

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.

Do clinics need separate agreements with each lender?

During onboarding, clinics sign one agreement with Ottri that includes addendums covering each lender in the waterfall. One onboarding process, one set of paperwork, all lenders activated.

How does onboarding work?

Clinic onboarding takes 5-10 minutes. We collect basic business information, verify credentials where required, and activate the account. No lengthy paperwork, no multi-week integration cycles. Partners with existing clinic portfolios can bulk-onboard.

Are there minimum requirements for clinics?

Yes. Clinics generally need to be an established practice with at least 6 months of operating history. Newer businesses may not qualify initially. As Ottri's volume grows with our lender network, eligibility requirements become more flexible over time. Check with your Ottri partner manager for current criteria.

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 about compliance and licensing?

Ottri Global LLC maintains all required state registrations and licenses (NMLS ID: 2777966). As a technology platform, we handle the regulatory infrastructure so clinics and partners don't have to. Our legal entity structure separates regulated activity from general operations.
