I got my card when I had an emergency with one of my horses. I had a vet bill that was rather large and I used my card to help pay that bill. Just today, I have put my card to use again. Another horse, another emergency and another vet bill. I will be mailing the statement and the card number to my vet in the next mail. It has helped me when things were tight especially with my horses. They can always seem to get into trouble in a hurry.
"I am so thankful for Care Credit. Because of you, I was blessed to be able to have skin removal surgery after large weight loss. I was able to have a mini tummy tuck, brachioplasty, medial thigh lift and extensive liposuction . I would never have been able to do this on my own without being able to finance part of my surgeries(3). These surgeries were not out of vanity but a need because after losing over 100 pounds, I was still having to buy clothing to accommodate the skin, not my new size!
"I can't say enough about Care Credit. This company has been such a blessing to my family. My teenage son needed glasses and we had no insurance. About $600 for 2 pairs that he desperately needed because he had been using the same pair for 3 years. He is in the marching band at high school and practices 3 hours a day and 10-12 hours on Saturdays for competition. He needed them badly to be able to hit his marks on the field. Thank you Care Credit for helping me support my son. Love to you all!
"Due to measles as a child, I've lived with only 30% of my hearing. Now, thanks to CareCredit, I have a set of the most incredible hearing aids! Calls to my cell phone come directly into my ears. I can watch a television show into my hearing aids without disrupting the household! I can hear my little dog's Ewok squeaks for the first time! This new technology, previously unaffordable, was only available to me because of CareCredit. Thank you so much for every new sound.
"For sometime, I had to make tough choices on which health issues I could afford to address first, second, and third. I had to address my hearing by having a cochlear implant to be able to hear my students as I am a teacher. Next, I had to make sure I had glasses or contacts to see. Lastly, I had to put on hold needed dental care as I couldn't afford my hearing, eyes, and dental at the same time. With care credit, I am able to take care of all three. I thank God for Care Credit!!

Since 2004, Genworth has tracked the cost of long term care services nationwide to help families understand and plan for their long term care needs. The survey results have become the foundation for long term care planning. Get answers to frequently asked questions and additional details into the research methodology used for the Genworth Cost of Care Survey.
From September through December 2023, Genworth contacted 176,807 providers by phone to complete 11,867 surveys of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult day health facilities and home care providers.
Potential respondents were selected from CareScout's nationwide database of providers, supplemented with additional providers in each category of long term care services. Survey respondents represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Following the 2021 survey, the United States continued to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, and we saw shifts in the long-term care space. Genworth made the decision to pause and recalibrate our Cost of Care Survey and methodology to align with consumer needs and the current state of the industry.

I-CARE, or Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange, is a web based immunization record-sharing application developed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). The application allows public and private healthcare providers to share the immunization records of Illinois residents with other physicians statewide.
Open access to the statewide registry is not allowed. Only registered I-CARE users have access to the data and information is available only on a need-to-know basis. In other words, an I-CARE user cannot browse through patient records. Specific name or ID search criteria must be used to access information in the statewide registry.
If you are a provider and use an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, you may be able to share data with I-CARE using HL7 data exchange. You will need to contact your EHR vendor to determine if your EHR system is HL7 compatible. You also may need to acquire an additional interface for your EHR to send and exchange immunization data.
The second method is a real-time, bidirectional data exchange of vaccine record updates, queries, and responses. This method allows immunization providers using their EHR system to query I-CARE for a patient (not found in their own EHR system) and ICARE will send the patient immunization information back. It also will allow providers to send updates from their EHR directly to I-CARE for immediate update. This method uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) with web services.
