The biggest reason patients delay elective cosmetic procedures is simple: timing and budget rarely line up. Even when a patient is highly motivated, the out-of-pocket cost of a surgical plan can lead to hesitation, comparison shopping, or a prolonged postponement, resulting in a lost case.
Elective Medical Financing helps plastic surgery practices remove that friction by delivering patient-friendly financing through a practice-first platform. Your patients get a fast, modern application experience, and your team gets a streamlined workflow designed to increase conversions without adding complexity.
Why Offer Patient Financing in Your Plastic Surgery Practice?
Plastic surgery is a high-consideration decision. Patients often spend weeks researching surgeons, outcomes, and recovery timelines—and then hit a final barrier when they see the total price. Financing doesn’t “sell” the procedure; it helps qualified patients move forward with a plan they already want, on terms they can manage.
Offering financing also supports a more consistent schedule and a more predictable production pipeline. Instead of relying only on patients who can pay in full, you can ethically expand access to care by providing responsible payment options through established lending partners.
Overcome Cost Barriers
Most practices already know the pattern: a great consult, high intent, and then “I need to think about it.” In many cases, that “thinking” is really about affordability.
Patient financing helps you reduce sticker shock by reframing the decision into manageable payments.
Common situations where financing helps most:
- Higher-ticket surgical cases (mommy makeover, body contouring, rhinoplasty, facelift)
- Multi-procedure treatment plans bundled for better outcomes
- Patients who prefer preserving cash flow, even if they can pay in full
- Patients who want a procedure on a timeline (events, career changes, life milestones)
Boost Bookings and Lifetime Value
When financing is offered the right way—clearly, compliantly, and without pressure—it can increase booked cases and help patients commit to comprehensive treatment plans rather than partial solutions.
Practice benefits often include:
- Higher consult-to-procedure conversion
- Fewer cancellations tied to budget concerns
- Stronger acceptance of complete treatment plans
- More predictable monthly production
- A smoother path to deposits and scheduled surgery dates
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.
Your patients aren’t saying no.
Your financing setup is.
One application. Multiple lenders. 25-30% more approvals.
Ottri’s multi-lender platform finds patients the best financing option — so they schedule, not stall.
How It Works for Patients
Three steps. That’s it.
Patient applies once
They get matched to multiple lenders
They pick an offer, you get paid
Practice and Patient Benefits
Financing should feel like a win for everyone involved: the patient gains flexibility and transparency, and the practice gains a reliable way to convert interest into scheduled production.
A best-in-class financing experience also protects your brand. If patients feel confused by terms, pressured into decisions, or surprised later by fees, that reflects on the practice. The right platform makes the process simple and professional from start to finish.
Benefits for Your Practice
The financial conversation is often the most delicate part of a cosmetic consult. Patient financing helps your coordinators focus on education and next steps, instead of negotiating dollars.
Key practice advantages:
- Convert more consults without discounting your fees
- Reduce dependence on in-house payment plans that tie up staff time
- Get a consistent process your entire team can follow
- Provide options for a range of credit profiles via multiple lenders
- Keep patient experience polished with a modern application flow
Operational advantages that tend to be valued:
- Quick onboarding and launch
- A clear funding process and predictable payout steps
- Patient support that reduces the burden on your front desk
- Tools that help patients self-educate before and after consults
Benefits for Your Patients
Patients want clarity, speed, and control. They want to understand what they’re applying for, what it costs, and what happens next—without feeling like they’re being “sold” financing.
A strong patient experience includes:
- A simple application that they can complete in minutes
- A soft credit check option (where available) that doesn’t impact scores
- Multiple term choices so they can match payment to budget
- A clear view of monthly payment estimates before committing
- A legitimate, secure process they can trust

Our Unique Financing Solution for Practices
Most financing options force a practice to pick between simplicity and approvals. Some tools are easy but approve fewer patients. Others may approve more patients but add extra steps, create confusion, or impose an administrative burden.
Elective Medical Financing is built to support conversion without complicating your workflow. The platform is designed around four outcomes that practices care about most: more approvals, a cleaner patient experience, fewer operational headaches, and transparent practice economics.
No Setup Fees, Monthly Fees, or Platform Fees
Practices should not have to incur recurring platform costs to offer patients the option to pay over time. Your financing program should generate ROI by increasing booked cases—not by adding a new overhead line item.
With Elective Medical Financing, practices can offer financing without:
- Setup fees
- Monthly subscription fees
- Platform fees
That makes it easier to roll financing out across providers, locations, and coordinators—without worrying about utilization minimums or wasted spend.
One Application and a Soft Credit Pull
Patients abandon financing applications when they feel long, repetitive, or risky. A modern experience reduces friction and protects patient confidence.
Our process is designed to be:
- Simple: one application, one guided flow
- Fast: built for completion in minutes
- Patient-friendly: soft credit pull experience where available, so that patients can explore options confidently
Access Multiple Lenders and Increase Approvals
A single-lender program can unintentionally limit approvals because each lender has a specific credit box and pricing model. A multi-lender approach helps match more patients to an option that fits.
Elective Medical Financing routes a single application to multiple lending partners, so patients can see eligible offers without having to repeatedly reapply.
What this typically improves:
- Approval coverage across more credit profiles
- The chance of finding a term/APR combination that the patient accepts
- The practice’s ability to serve more patients without changing pricing

How It Works
Financing should be easy to explain in a consult, easy for patients to complete on their phone, and easy for your team to track without chasing paperwork.
Below is a clear, practice-friendly workflow you can use internally for training and externally for patient education.
Practice Onboarding and Launch
Most practices want to offer financing quickly, but they don’t want a drawn-out implementation. The onboarding process is designed to get you live fast and keep your team aligned.
Typical onboarding includes:
- Quick practice intake and basic business verification
- Portal access for your admin and coordinators
- Simple instructions for using the patient application link or widget
- Optional marketing assets so patients learn about financing before consults
Patient Application Experience
Patients should be able to complete the process at the right moment—after they understand the plan and cost—without needing to “go home and think about it.”
Patients can apply:
- In-office during consult (with your coordinator available)
- At home after a consultation via a secure link
- On mobile, tablet, or desktop
To improve completion rates, many practices:
- Add a “Check monthly payments” link on procedure pages
- Include a QR code in the consultation rooms
- Send the application link in post-consult follow-up texts/emails
Decision, Offer Selection, and Funding
After the patient applies, they may receive one or more offers depending on eligibility. The goal is clarity: patients should understand their choices and know exactly how to proceed.
A clean funding process typically includes:
- Instant or near-instant decisioning (varies by lender)
- Patient selects an offer and confirms the plan
- Funds are disbursed according to lender timelines and your practice settings
Frequently Asked Questions
We charge zero setup fees, zero monthly subscription fees, and zero platform fees. This means you can offer patient financing without any recurring costs or hidden charges impacting your practice’s bottom line. Our goal is to help you increase booked cases and revenue without adding overhead, so you can feel confident rolling out financing across providers and locations without worrying about extra expenses.
We partner with multiple leading medical lenders to maximize your patients’ approval chances. By routing a single patient application to 10 or more lenders, we increase the likelihood that your patients will find an option tailored to their credit profile and financing needs. This multi-lender approach helps you serve a broader range of patients without needing to manage multiple applications or confusing options.
Our financing platform primarily uses a soft credit pull during the application process where available, which means that the patient’s credit score is not impacted by checking eligibility. This allows patients to explore financing options confidently without fear of lowering their credit score. Depending on the lender and the loan product, a hard credit inquiry may be performed later in the approval process, but patients are clearly informed when and why this occurs.
Approval times vary by lender but most patients receive a decision within seconds to a few minutes after submitting the application. Once approved, funds are typically disbursed to your practice within 1 to 3 business days, depending on the lender’s funding timeline and your practice’s banking arrangements. We strive to make the process as quick and seamless as possible to ensure patients can move forward without unnecessary delays.
Interest rates and terms vary significantly depending on the lender and the patient’s creditworthiness. Some lenders offer promotional financing with 0% APR for an introductory period, while others have rates up to approximately 24.99% APR. Patients are presented with clear, transparent payment terms before committing, so they can choose a plan that fits their budget and preferences. All financing offers comply with applicable regulations and require full disclosure of terms.
Loan term options typically range from 6 months up to 60 months, giving patients flexibility to select payment plans that align with their financial situation. Shorter terms usually mean higher monthly payments but less total interest paid, while longer terms reduce monthly costs but may increase total interest. Our platform presents these options clearly to help patients make informed decisions with full visibility into monthly payment amounts and total cost.
Once a patient accepts a financing offer, the approved loan amount is deposited directly into your practice’s bank account via Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer. This direct-to-practice funding eliminates the need for you to manage payments from patients or worry about collecting installments. The timing of funds depends on the lender’s processing schedule but is generally within 1 to 3 business days after loan approval.
No, our financing solutions are installment loans rather than credit cards. This means patients receive a fixed loan amount with set monthly payments over an agreed term. This structure helps patients avoid revolving credit card debt, which often comes with higher interest rates and variable payments. Installment loans provide transparency and predictability for both patients and your practice.
Yes, patients can securely complete the financing application from any device—whether mobile phone, tablet, or desktop—at a time and place convenient to them. This flexibility helps increase application completion rates and reduces pressure during consultations. You can also provide a secure application link or embed a payment calculator widget on your website to encourage patients to explore financing options before or after their visit.
Protecting patient data is our top priority. We adhere to industry-leading security standards, including PCI-DSS Level 1 certification for payment processing and compliance with healthcare privacy regulations such as HIPAA where applicable. All data transmissions are encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, and we maintain strict access controls and regular security audits to safeguard sensitive information throughout the financing process.
Getting started is simple and fast. Just complete our streamlined online practice signup form with basic business and contact information. Once verified, your practice will receive access to our portal and marketing materials to begin offering financing immediately. Many practices are live and accepting applications within 24 hours. Our dedicated onboarding team will guide you every step of the way to ensure a smooth implementation and training for your staff.
Features and Tools to Streamline Your Workflow
A financing program should not live only in your coordinator’s head. It should be operationalized through tools that make it easy to introduce, track, and improve over time.
Elective Medical Financing is built with features that support adoption across your front desk, coordinators, and leadership team.
Practice Portal and Dashboard
Your team needs visibility without extra admin work. A centralized portal helps you manage financing activity as a standard part of your consult-to-surgery pipeline.
Common portal capabilities include:
- Access controls for team members
- Status visibility (application started, submitted, approved, funded)
- Reporting that helps you measure performance over time
- A consistent workflow that’s easy to train
If you track KPIs internally, consider monitoring:
- Consult-to-application rate
- Application completion rate
- Approval rate by procedure type or ticket size
- Approval-to-booked rate
- Average financed amount per case
Patient Payment Calculator and Pre-Approval Widget
Patients don’t always need a full application to stay engaged. Often, they want a quick way to understand “what would this look like monthly?”
A payment calculator can:
- Reduce sticker shock by translating the total cost into estimated payments
- Encourage more qualified consults from website leads
- Give your coordinators a faster way to present options
Placement ideas that often work well:
- Your rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, lipo, tummy tuck, and facelift pages
- Pricing/fees page (if you publish ranges)
- A “Patient Resources” page linked from your main nav
- Post-consult follow-up email templates
Plastic Surgery Procedures Commonly Financed
Patients finance both surgical and non-surgical aesthetics. Including a procedure list helps patients self-identify and helps practices capture long-tail SEO searches (e.g., “rhinoplasty financing for patients”).
Below are common categories where financing is frequently used.
Surgical Procedures
Surgical cases often have higher total costs, which makes monthly payments especially relevant. Financing may be used for the procedure fee, anesthesia, facility, garments, and other eligible charges, depending on the lender and practice setup.
Common surgical procedures include:
- Breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction
- Rhinoplasty
- Facelift and neck lift
- Blepharoplasty
- Liposuction
- Tummy tuck
- Mommy makeover
- Body contouring after weight loss
- Gynecomastia surgery
Non-Surgical and Injectable Treatments
Non-surgical patients also benefit from financing, especially when they want a multi-session plan or combination treatments.
Common non-surgical uses:
- Injectables (neurotoxins and dermal fillers)
- Skin resurfacing and laser treatments
- Body sculpting treatments
- Hair restoration packages
- Acne scar and skin revision plans
