Understanding Your Dermatology Coverage
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary dermatology care. This typically includes diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer, biopsies, Mohs surgery, superficial radiation therapy, and treatment for conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, shingles, and actinic keratosis. Coverage details, copays, deductibles, and referral requirements vary from plan to plan.
Cosmetic treatments, such as Botox for wrinkles, dermal fillers, laser rejuvenation, and tumescent liposuction, are considered elective and are generally not covered by insurance. Our team will let you know before treatment if a service is not expected to be covered.

- Ask whether your plan requires a referral from your primary care provider, which is common with HMO plans.
