Billing and Insurance Questions

We accept Medicare and select PPO insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, and Blue Shield of California.

If your insurance plan is one we accept:

•Your co-pay will be collected during your appointment.

•We will bill your insurance company for the services provided.

•The final amount you owe will depend on your specific insurance plan and coverage.

Due to the complexity and variability of insurance plans, we can’t determine exact costs in advance. Factors such as deductibles (the amount you need to pay before your insurance begins coverage) can impact what your insurance will cover. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to understand your coverage and benefits. If needed, we can provide procedure codes to help you get a detailed estimate.

We recommend reaching out to your insurance provider for detailed information. Our team is happy to provide procedure codes to facilitate this process.

Office Policies

At Prime Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute, we require all patients to have a valid credit card on file. Your credit card is securely stored in a Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant payment gateway.

The card on file will be charged for any no-show fees (outlined below) or for any outstanding balance after insurance payments have been applied. If payment is not received within 30 days from the date of the first statement, the card on file will be charged for the remaining balance.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting our scheduling commitments, as this helps ensure our services remain accessible to all patients.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please notify us at least 24 business hours in advance for regular appointments or 48 business hours for surgical or cosmetic procedures. For example, if your regular appointment is scheduled for Monday at 9 AM, we kindly ask that you inform us by the preceding Friday before 9 AM.

This advance notice allows us to offer the available time slot to other patients, especially those on our urgent waitlist. Please note that a $100 fee will be charged for no-shows, cancellations, or reschedules made with less than the required notice for regular appointments, and a $250 fee will apply for procedures.
