Fees, Payment & Insurance
Commercial Insurance, Uninsured, and Medicaid
We do not participate with commercial insurance plans, nor with Medicaid or Medicaid alternative plans, at this office, but if you have coverage through a major insurance company, we will submit your claim for you. Visit fees for non-medicare patients typically range from $290-395. Procedures are not included. If you do not receive a communication and/or payment from your insurance company after 6 weeks, you should contact your insurance company directly. We regret that we cannot take on nor continue to see patients covered by Medicaid or by a Medicaid alternative plan.
Some patients may have out-of-network coverage, and/or a healthcare savings account (HSA) to defray out-of-pocket costs. Please check with your insurer or your human resources department to understand how these benefits may apply to you. We will supply you with the necessary paperwork to help you utilize your HSA upon request.
Drs. Goldwasser and Veritas are non-accepting Medicare providers. This means that Medicare patients will be asked to pay at the time of service, and the office will submit a claim on their behalf so that they may be reimbursed. Fees for Medicare patients are limited by law and are lower than our standard fees.
If you have straight Medicare, with or without a Medigap plan, this applies to you. There is automatic crossover of claims from Medicare to most Medigap insurance providers. If you are an established patient here, undergoing a full body skin exam, you will likely be asked to pay a fee of about $170-220 at the time of service, and you will likely be reimbursed by Medicare and your secondary insurance at about 66%-100%, depending on your Medigap plan, assuming you have satisfied your annual deductible. If you do not receive a communication and/or payment from Medicare and your secondary insurance company after 6 weeks, you should contact them directly.
You can read about this on this AARP website.
If you have a Medicare advantage plan, we will charge you the Medicare rate, but you may not be reimbursed at all. You may need to submit the claim yourself, and we will supply you with the information and forms you need to do that, via email.
Medicare
Fees and Payment:
We are committed to setting fair fees and to fee transparency and to excellent healthcare value. Visit fees and procedure fees will be itemized on your bill, and payment will be requested at the time of service for all patients, in the form of cash, check, or credit card.
Cosmetic and non-covered procedures and fees:
Some skin procedures are considered to be cosmetic, i.e. not medically necessary. Neither insurance companies nor Medicare will cover these. Medicare patients must sign a form (advance beneficiary notice) to acknowledge this, if they choose to have such a service. These include, but are not limited to, removal of skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, enlarged oil glands, milial cysts, telangiectasia (visible veins), spider veins of the legs, pilar cysts, epidermal cysts, and angiomata. The doctor will inform you before performing a procedure generally deemed "cosmetic".
