At each appointment, we will verify your insurance information. Please be sure to bring any insurance cards with you to our office.
The wide variety of insurance companies, plans and coverage levels makes it impossible for our staff to know the specifics of your insurance coverage. It is our patients' responsibility to understand their insurance coverage. If you have questions about whether all or part of your visit will be covered, please contact your insurance company directly.
MassHealth: Our clinicians are all active MassHealth providers, but not all MassHealth plans allow patients to be seen in our office. Before making an appointment, please check that your insurance will cover your visit, and that your primary care provider is willing to send you to our office. Some MassHealth plans require a referral. If you need a referral and we have not received it at the time of your appointment, you cannot be seen at that time. We are unable to accept payment from patients with MassHealth coverage.
Referrals: Many insurance plans require referrals. A referral is an official request from your PCP's office to your insurance company that your visit to our office be covered (not just an indication from your primary care provider (PCP) that you visit our office). If you are unsure if if your insurance plan requires a referral, please check with your insurance provider before making an appointment. It is our patients' responsibility to request referrals from their PCPs.
Office Policies
Payment Policy: The following types of payments are expected at the time of service:
- Insurance copayments
- Payment for cosmetic services
- Payments for visits when patients do not have insurance coverage
- Payments for visits when patients' insurance coverage is not active at the time of service
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. In the event of a returned check, a $25.00 charge will be billed to the patient. Repeated returned checks will result in cash only payments for future visits.
New Patients:
All new patients MUST arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment time to complete the registration process. For your convenience, you may download, print and complete the following forms and bring them to your appointment:
Cancelled/Missed Appointments: Please give the office 24 hours notice if you must cancel an appointment. This enables us to offer the appointment to another patient on our cancellation list. If you give us less than 24 hours notice and we are unable to fill your slot, you may be charged $50.00. Similarly, you may be charged for a scheduled appoinment that you do not keep and do not cancel.
Treatment of Minors: Dermatology Associates, P.C. requires that a parent or legal guardian accompany a patient under the age of 18 on an initial visit. Parents can choose not to accompany the patient on follow-up visits, providing that they complete a "Parental Pre-Authorization for Medical Care to Minors" form and we have it on file. As required by insurance plans, a valid referral and copay are expected at the time of service. Your minor child cannot sign a referral waiver.
Medical Records Request: For your convenience, you may print out a copy of our Medical Record Release Form and fax, mail or hand-deliver it to our office. Please note that the form must be signed by the patient (or a parent/guardian) and a witness. Release forms are valid for 90 days from the signature date. Thre may be a charge associated with the processing of records.
