Personal loan for medical expenses  

Finder Awards 2024
Finder Awards 2024

Cover your Medical, Dental and Cosmetic expenses with our no-fee personal loan

Even with health insurance, medical costs can quickly add up - especially if you need unexpected or urgent surgery. A personal loan could help provide the funds you need to pay for a cosmetic procedure, a large excess or uninsured surgery.

 

What is a medical loan?

Put simply, it’s a loan to cover medical expenses. Thankfully, Pepper Money personal loans can be used for a wide range of purposes – including to finance medical procedures.

Rather than delaying treatment, financing medical expenses through a personal loan could help you get the care you need while paying it off over a period of 18-84 months.^ What’s more, you could use the funds from your personal loan for a range of procedures - including general surgery, cosmetic surgery, dental treatment, or even laser eye surgery.

 

Can I use a personal loan for cosmetic surgery?

Yes. If you’re planning elective, cosmetic, eye or dental surgery, then a personal loan could help you access treatment without a costly overhead, or putting a lump sum charge on a potentially high-interest credit card.

With loans from $5,000 to $100,000 available, together with a range of loan terms, it’s time to take comfort in knowing you’ll be taken care of.
