- Primary CareHair and nail problems are within the dermatologic scope, and we can assist with common nail deformities and disease. There are several variants of hair loss and each of those have tailored treatment options. We do appreciate any blood work performed by primary care to help with our hair investigation. If you don’t have that information, we can also send a requisition to your lab of choice. It can take several months for nail and hair interventions to make changes.

- LesionsIf we participate (i.e. are contracted) with a commercial insurance plan under which you are covered, we will bill the carrier for the charges that relate to COVERED services rendered. This means that services for the removal of benign lesions, which are not likely covered by insurances (for example: skin tags, seborrheic keratosis, telangiectasiae, leg veins, and other COSMETIC procedures), will be paid at the time of service. We will bill both your primary and secondary insurance plans for covered services under the contracted plans. Complete insurance information, including referrals from other providers, for primary and secondary insurance coverage(s) must be made available to the Practice including all identification, benefits cards/documents, and any other information required by your insurance carrier, for accurate filing of claims. In the event that we are not aware of a charge that is not covered by your plan, you will be billed the balance after we obtain the denial from your insurance.
