Health Care Financing loan amounts generally range from $1500 to 25,000 dollars. If you have free cash, or Home equity it is generally advisable to use these sources before you look for healthcare specific spending.
Fixed Rates
Generally its in your best interest to get a low fixed rate because this allows you to set a budget and have a definite fixed monthly payment. Only choose a variable rate if you don't have any other options or you plan on paying it off in the short term. Interest rates range from 1.99 to 30%, but interest rate is not everything. Generally if you are getting an interest rate that seems too low to be true has a catch. READ THE SMALL PRINT and ask questions if the terms seem too good to be true.
Monthly Payments
Getting a low monthly payment is important, but not as important as the rate and not having a prepayment penalty. Don't get sold on a low introductory rate only to later find out that you have a prepay and a variable interest rate tied to a volatile index.
Loan Term Length
The longer your loan term the lower the payments and the higher the interest. Find a term that you can afford, but don't take a 60 month term if you can afford to pay a higher payment at a lower rate. Loan terms exist in 3,6,9,10,12,24,36,48, and 60 months. Choose the lowest term you can afford.
PrePayment Penalty
MOST IMPORTANTLY DONT GET A PREPAYMENT PENALTY! Ask you financing company if the loan you are receiving has a prepayment penalty. Read your documentation and look for anything that might look like a prepayment penalty. This can cost you allot of money if you wish to pay your loan off early
