iVitaFi - 0% APR, No Interest Orthopedic Financing at Bienville Orthopaedic Specialists
At Bienville Orthopaedic Specialists, we believe financial concerns should never stand in the way of high-quality orthopedic care. That’s why we’ve partnered with iVitaFi to offer 0% APR, interest patient financing, helping make out-of-pocket medical expenses easier to manage.
Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming procedure or addressing costs from a recent visit, this option allows you to receive the care you need now and pay over time—without interest.
What Is 0% APR, No Interest Medical Financing?
0% APR, no interest financing allows eligible patients to spread their medical costs into predictable monthly payments rather than paying everything upfront. There is no interest charged on your balance.
As part of the application process, patients make an initial payment at signing. This is not a fee. It is your first payment, applied directly to your balance and reducing the amount you owe. Your monthly payments start the next month.
How Our Orthopedic Payment Plan Works
- Simple, Secure Application
Applying takes just a few minutes and can be completed online. Applying does not impact your credit score, and patients across a wide range of credit profiles are encouraged to apply. iVitaFi manages the credit line program and offers excellent customer service to our patients.
- Clear Terms and Predictable Payments
If approved, you’ll see all financing details clearly before accepting, including:
- Your approved credit line
- Your monthly payment amount
- The payment due at signing
The payment due at signing is typically equal to your monthly payment. This payment activates your account and is applied directly to your balance. Your next payment will not be due for at least 30 days.
There are no interest charges and no hidden fees, and repayment terms may extend up to 36 months, depending on eligibility.
- Easy Payment Options
The payment due at signing can be made using:
- Credit card
- Debit card
- HSA card
- FSA card
Ongoing payments can be managed through iVitaFi’s secure online portal with 24/7 account access using your credit card, debit card, HSA card, FSA card, or ACH payment.
