MK Dermatology’s direct care practice model decreases costs by cutting out the overhead that comes with insurance companies and regulations.
Medical and Surgical Pricing
All medical service fees are transparent, so patients can see the price of their appointment and any treatments before they visit. Health care savings accounts (HSA) and flexible spending accounts (FSA) are accepted forms of payment for medical services.
Follow-up Appointments
Liquid Nitrogen Treatment (medically necessary)
Cosmetic Add-ons:
Excisions
If Dr. Kingsley finds an atypical mole or skin cancer during your visit, or if you have a benign lesion that is bothersome that you would like removed, Dr Kingsley can perform excision. If you have something that she has not yet evaluated, schedule a medical dermatology exam for her to evaluate and discuss treatment options.
Cosmetic Pricing
Our direct care model doesn’t change the way Dr. Kingsley approaches cosmetic dermatology services. During an initial consultation, Dr. Kingsley learns about a patient’s needs and creates a customized treatment plan. Once a cosmetic consultation is complete, patients will be given a quote prior to their first treatment.
Aesthetics Pricing
Our aesthetic services include BelaMD, TheraClear Acne and Laser Genesis facials. With our direct care model, patients will know the price of their facial services before their appointment.
Pathology Pricing
If a biopsy is performed at your visit, it will be sent to a pathologist to diagnose. You can pay our direct fee to the lab of $65 per specimen (no matter how many stains may be needed). Or if you prefer, the pathology lab can bill your insurance directly.
Medication Prior Authorization
You will be charged $25 per medication authorization.
What Type of Appointment is Needed?
New Patient – Focused:
This is an exam for those with 1-2 straightforward concerns. Do not book if you would like a full skin exam or have several concerns.
New Patient – Comprehensive:
This is an exam for those who would like a full skin exam or who have a complex rash, hair loss, or multiple concerns.
Established Patient – Focused:
This is an exam for those with 1-2 straightforward problems (acne follow-up, concerning spot, etc). Do not book if you would like a full skin exam.
Established Patient – Comprehensive:
This type of appointment is for established medical dermatology patients who would like a full skin exam or have a new rash, hair loss, complex concerns or multiple concerns. Please book this appointment type, so we have enough time together!
Cosmetic Consultation:
New patients who desire cosmetic treatments should book a cosmetic consultation. Procedures may be performed that same day if time allows. If you plan to have any treatments done the same day as your consultation, please let us know so we may schedule the appropriate amount of time to meet your needs.
What About Insurance?
For those patients with private insurance, we provide an itemized and coded form upon request. Not all insurance companies allow reimbursement for services. It is the responsibility of the patient to check with their insurance provider about rules regulating reimbursement.
