Dermatology billing
Procedure-heavy billing, handled with detail.
Dermatology visits combine evaluation, procedures and pathology in a single encounter. Most lost revenue comes from modifiers, lesion documentation and the medical-versus-cosmetic line.
What makes it different
Several billable services in one visit.
A single dermatology encounter can include an E/M service, multiple biopsies at different sites and a destruction — each with its own coding and modifier requirements.
- Biopsies, excisions and destructions
- Lesion count, size and site documentation
- Modifier 25, 59 and site modifiers
- Pathology and specimen handling
- Medical versus cosmetic determination
- Global periods on surgical procedures
Common denial drivers
Where dermatology revenue gets stuck.
Bundled procedures
A procedure performed with an E/M visit gets bundled because the separate service wasn't distinguished.
Cosmetic determinations
A service the payer considers cosmetic is billed to insurance and denied, leaving an awkward patient balance.
Missing site detail
Multiple lesions are treated but documentation doesn't specify sites, so only one procedure is paid.
Support & credentialing
Keep procedure days moving.
Full procedure schedules need prepared authorizations, verified benefits and clean records handling. We handle credentialing per provider and take routine coordination off the clinical team.
- Credentialing for physicians and mid-levels
- Benefit verification before procedure visits
- Prior authorization support
- Pathology records coordination
- Self-pay and cosmetic quoting support
- Documentation support through scribing
Growth
Attract the visits you want more of.
Skin checks, acne, surgical work and cosmetic treatments all get searched differently. We build the service pages and local campaigns for the appointment types you actually want on the schedule.
