CREDIT CARDS and FINANCIAL POLICIES
Credit Cards:
Credit card information for payment of services and products are entered and stored on a secured payment platform, “Stripe” through our HIPAA compliant and secure electronic medical record “Jane.” We do not store your credit card information physically in our clinic.
Day of the Appointment:
On the day of your appointment, you can choose to pay by credit card or Zelle. We are a cashless business. Fees are due on day of service. We are happy to provide a Superbill for insurance reimbursement.
All payments will be discussed and collected on the day of service when you are in our office. Pricing can also be viewed online. We do not contract with insurance companies, so you should not receive any surprise bills from our clinic. We don’t want to work with billers or collectors. This allows us to keep our clinic cozy and focused on high-quality care.
Superbills and Reimbursements:
Although we can supply a Superbill for your visit, we do not guarantee reimbursement. We do not provide refunds due to an inability to be reimbursed by your insurance company. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your insurance company before scheduling an appointment. In the Era of high deductibles and high premiums, you may find that our prices are more reasonable than the bill that follows a traditional dermatology practice visit.
Pathology Fees:
Pathology fees are typically covered by insurance companies. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your insurance company before scheduling. Dr. Egan sends all pathology to Compass Dermatopathology in San Diego, CA. Compass Dermatopathology accepts most insurance companies. The cash pay cost for a biopsy is typically $75 to $100. If necessary, additional stains may add additional costs. Dr. Egan chose this dermatopathology group because of their dedication to detail, expertise, and experience. Because of their extensive experience, they will only run special stains with additional costs if necessary. Dr. Egan prioritizes high-quality through care.
Lab and Imaging Fees:
Lab and imaging fees are typically covered by insurance companies. Specialized labs and imaging may not be covered. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your insurance company before getting labs or imaging completed.
