Since we are considered medical specialists, you may be required to pay your insurance’s specialist copay. A specialist copay is sometimes higher than a regular copay.
Dermatology is a problem-oriented specialty. Many carriers, including Medicare, don’t permit dermatologists to perform preventative visits or wellness exams, even if it’s for a screening for malignant neoplasms. Preventative visits are typically performed by broader specialists like Family Practitioners, OBGYNs, and Internal Medicine specialists. For example, a family practitioner may perform a general full-body exam as part of a series of other checks during an annual physical, and then coordinate further testing or appointments with specialists for problems discovered during this “preventative visit”.
A skin exam is a head-to-toe screening for skin cancer.
Billing your account typically happens 30 – 60 days after your visit.
Anytime that you are seen in-office by one of our providers you will be required to pay your insurance’s copay.
