Established Patient Complex Follow-up visit

Teledermatology

(Virtual Visit)
A teledermatology visit is a virtual appointment with Dr Goddard through a smartphone, tablet or internet-connected computer that has a camera and microphone. This is done directly through our secure and privacy protected technology platform. You can use a teledermatology visit to address any number of new or existing dermatology-related problems. Common conditions we can address virtually include acne, rosacea, hair loss, psoriasis and other various rashes. Conditions that cannot be addressed with teledermatology include skin cancers, changing moles or conditions requiring hands on surgical procedures.

Extras

Skin biopsy prices
Shave biopsy - $125
Flat fee for single shave biopsy (no stitches).
Includes pathology lab fee
Punch biopsy - $150
Flat fee for single punch biopsy (includes stitches and stitch removal)
Includes pathology lab fee
You have the option to submit these lab specimens under your insurance for potential coverage but there will be a fee of $50-75 for the procedure that is separate from what the pathology lab charges your insurance to process and read the slides.
Additional fees for special immunostains may occur. These are uncommon and you would be notified if special tests are needed.
Prescription drug prior authorization - $25-50
Certain prescription medications require extensive paperwork and phone calls to gain coverage. You will be informed in advance if your prescription requires this extra step.

Common Questions

I’m not sure which type of appointment to schedule

That’s okay! Give us a call or message us in our “contact us” message box and we’ll help figure it out with you.

Will my insurance help cover any of your costs?
  • If you have private insurance such as BCBS, Aetna, etc., we can provide you with a superbill that includes visit codes. You can submit this to your insurance, yourself, and they will evaluate if your office visit fees from MD Derm can be used toward your deductible or you may even get reimbursed if you have met your deductible for the year.
  • If you have a government based insurance plan such as Medicare or Medicaid, we can not provide you with a superbill and they do not allow you to be reimbursed for visit with MD Derm. 
  • For private insurance and Medicare patients, you can chose to use your insurance for lab fees, imaging (radiology), pathologist fees, and prescriptions.
Do you offer payment plans for higher-cost procedures?
  • Our top priority is improving access to expert dermatologic care. If you need a medical procedure, such as a skin cancer removal,  that is unobtainable for you financially, we are open to discussing a payment plan with you, in person, on an individual basis. 
  • We do not offer payment plans for elective cosmetic procedures
