Fees and Billing

Our fees are based upon what is usual and customary for dermatology in the intermountain area.

You are responsible for the total fee charged. Patients sometimes have the understanding that their insurance should cover the fee in full. Most, however, have a deductible which must be met first, and may pay only a percentage of the fee. We will file with your insurance carrier, however, your contract is between you and your insurance company.

Insurance

We are participating physicians with the following carriers:

We may have contracts with other health plans. Please Ask.

Medicare

Accepting Medicare Assignment means that we will accept what Medicare will allow. Medicare will pay 80% of what they allow, and that is only after all deductibles have been met. By law, we must collect everything Medicare allows whether the 20% comes from you personally, or from a secondary insurance carrier.

If you are a Medicare patient, please complete the Medicare Patient Information Form and bring it with you to your first appointment.

We will file your secondary insurance for you, if we are given full information to process your claim. While we are happy to provide this help, you are responsible for the total amount allowed.
