Ottri helps clinics introduce financing for eligible self-pay services through one clinic-branded application. Start with a defined program estimate, then let the patient explore available lender options. Your team follows application status and funding progress in Ottri. Participating lenders determine which services, applicants, and amounts meet their program requirements. ### What should be included in the program estimate? Describe the services the patient is considering, their price, and what is included in that quote. Distinguish the proposed services from optional additions or possible future charges so the financing request has a clear scope. Your team can then introduce the application and confirm which parts of the estimate an available lender program can consider. ### Can financing cover medication or prescription costs? Medication and prescription costs require specific confirmation under the participating program. A program’s ability to consider weight-loss or nutrition services does not establish coverage for GLP-1 medications, refills, or separately billed prescriptions. Explain those charges in the estimate and verify eligibility before presenting them as financed. Medical prescribing decisions remain with the patient’s qualified care team. ### Does financing automatically cover an ongoing clinic membership? A financing agreement covers the services and amount accepted under that lender’s program. Your clinic should explain separately any ongoing membership terms or recurring charges. Confirm what is included before the patient proceeds, and review future purchases or changes under the applicable program. Ottri helps manage the patient-financing application; membership billing follows the clinic’s own arrangements. ### What happens if the first lender declines the application? A decline from one lender does not have to end the financing conversation. Ottri can continue through other eligible participating programs in its configured sequence, subject to routing rules and stop conditions. The patient starts with one branded application, and your team follows the status in Ottri. Each lender makes its own decision; another approval is not guaranteed. ### What does Ottri cost, and how do we get started? Ottri has no setup, subscription, or Ottri platform fees for practices. Create your practice account, complete onboarding, and begin sharing applications once your eligible programs are active. Lender or promotional costs, where applicable, depend on the program. Your team can start with the Get started free button on this page. ### Does the application stay under our practice brand? Yes. Your practice logo, colors, and identity remain part of the Ottri experience, with required lender identities and disclosures shown where applicable. Your team can introduce the application and let the patient complete sensitive information privately on their own device. Ottri does not sell patient applications as leads. ### Who approves the financing and receives the funds? The participating lender makes the credit decision and sets the financing terms. For funded treatments, the lender sends funds directly to your practice according to its program requirements and funding process. Ottri Global LLC is a licensed loan broker, NMLS 2776988, and is not a lender. Your team can track funding progress in Ottri. ### What if the program or total cost changes after the application? Review the revised services and amount against the available program before using an earlier financing decision. Changes may require updated information or further lender review. Your coordinator can track the financing application in Ottri and help the patient identify the next step. Clinical decisions and the choice to continue treatment remain separate from financing eligibility. ### Does checking financing options affect the patient’s credit? The initial Ottri option check may use a soft credit inquiry that does not affect the patient’s credit score. If the patient chooses to proceed, a participating lender may perform a hard inquiry that can affect the score. The applicable information is presented before the patient continues. Inquiry type can vary by lender, product, and stage. --- About Ottri: Ottri is a licensed loan broker, NMLS 2776988. Ottri is not a lender.
