Insurances
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! Essential Dermatology accepts most major insurance plans. We do not accept Medicaid and Tricare. Please check with our office or your insurance provider to confirm coverage. We’ll also verify your benefits and discuss any out‑of‑pocket costs with you before treatment.
What forms of payment are accepted?
We accept major credit cards, debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and cash for any copays, deductibles, or cosmetic treatments not covered by insurance.
When is payment due?
Copays, deductibles, and any uncovered services are due at the time of your visit. We will submit claims to your insurance on your behalf.
Can I get an estimate for my visit or procedure beforehand?
Absolutely. Call us before your appointment, and we’ll review expected costs based on your insurance plan and the services you’re scheduling.
Do you offer payment plans or financing for cosmetic services?
Yes. For services not covered by insurance, we offer options for larger cosmetic treatments. Ask us during your consultation, and we can review financing plans with you.
