Maine Direct Dermatology - Temporary Schedule Change

During January & February, we'll be offering in-office appointments at our Yarmouth location only on Thursdays and Fridays while we provide temporary support to a colleague on maternity leave. To ensure continued access to care, we've added evening Virtual Visits, Monday-Wednesday from 5-7 PM. Normal hours (Monday-Friday) will resume March 10th.

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?
