SmartHealth PayCard has entered into an alliance to enable acceptance of its SmartHealth PayCard Mastercard credit card at In & Out Urgent Care, which offers urgent care and occupational medicine services.

In & Out Urgent Care serves the greater New Orleans region.

Under the partnership, In & Out Urgent Care clinics in New Orleans, Metairie as well as Covington/Madisonville will accept the SmartHealth credit card.

The move comes shortly after the firm’s announcement that it will forgo first year annual charges for applicants of its new credit card. The move is aimed at making healthcare affordable amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The SmartHealth PayCard Mastercard is solely dedicated to healthcare purposes.

The cardholders can get a prescription savings programme with up to 75% savings across US pharmacies.

Besides, up to $5,000 Accidental Medical Expenses coverage and $5,000 Accidental Death Insurance are extended to the cardholders.

In & Out Urgent Care CEO David Guzan said: “SmartHealth PayCard will allow us to offer our personable, affordable and convenient care to more patients, even those who cancel their visits at registration due to financial responsibilities at time of service.

“While it’s far less expensive to visit our clinics than to go to an emergency room, SmartHealth PayCard’s exceptional benefits and revolving credit line make it even easier to access needed care while allowing patients to manage healthcare expenses.”
