Medical Services
DermaCare provides dermatological medical services including but not limited to skin examinations, diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions, surgical procedures, cosmetic treatments, and preventive skin health consultations.
All medical services are provided by licensed healthcare professionals operating within the scope of their professional licenses. The nature and extent of services provided will be determined following appropriate medical evaluation.
Appointments
We request that you provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may need care. Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may result in a cancellation fee or requirement to prepay for future appointments.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to complete any necessary paperwork and allow for the check-in process.
Payment Policy
Payment is expected at the time of service for any copayments, deductibles, or services not covered by your insurance plan. We accept cash, major credit cards, and debit cards. For certain procedures, a deposit may be required.
We will submit claims to your insurance company on your behalf for covered services. However, you remain responsible for any amounts not covered by your insurance, including but not limited to deductibles, copayments, and services deemed non-covered.
Our billing department is available to discuss payment plans for significant balances. Please contact us to make arrangements before balances become delinquent.
