The skin is the largest organ on the body and is exposed constantly to the environment, making it vulnerable to a number of atypical issues. Our dermatologists have a wide range of specializations, and we provide diagnoses and treatments for many dermatological conditions.

Insurance FAQs

How will my insurance company pay for my procedure?

Please check with your insurance company to see how they will pay for an in-office procedure. All procedures will be paid according to your insurance plan's surgical benefits. Some insurance plans will have a deductible and a coinsurance balance that is the patient's responsibility. Others may include the services in your office copay. Copays are typically for evaluation and management services only and do not include procedures such as:

• Freezings, i.e. liquid nitrogen services
• Intralesional injections
• Laser treatments
• Scissor removals

What if I have no insurance? Is there any assistance for self-pay patients?

Patients who do not have insurance and would like to obtain information regarding billing assistance must call our financial screening department before visiting the clinic or scheduling an appointment. Please call 806.743.1970 x268.

Can I obtain the cost for my procedure before the service is performed?

Please inform your doctor that you would like to know the cost prior to the service being rendered. The clinic office manager or billing coordinator will assist you with pricing. Estimates prior to your appointment date can be given by the front office personnel.

I have a billing question. Who should I call?

Please contact our office and we will be glad to answer any billing questions that you may have. Be sure to have your billing statement and/or your explanation of benefits from your insurance company ready before calling.
