Why Dermatology Billing Is Different
Dermatology practices face some of the most complex coding and billing requirements in medicine. From distinguishing between medical and cosmetic procedures to navigating the nuances of MOHS micrographic surgery coding, the margin for error is razor-thin.
A single misplaced modifier or an incorrectly documented lesion size can mean the difference between full reimbursement and a costly denial. Generalist billing services routinely struggle with dermatology’s unique demands.
Common challenges Florida dermatologists face with billing:
- Medical vs. cosmetic procedures for correct insurance routing
- Accurate coding for MOHS micrographic surgery (CPT 17311-17315)
- Lesion excision coding by size, location, and closure method
- Modifier usage for multiple procedures performed on the same day
- Prior authorization and medical necessity documentation
- Global surgical period tracking and follow-up visits

How Our Dermatology Billing Process Works
We understand the Florida payer landscape: Medicare through First Coast MAC, Florida Blue, and commercial carriers.
Claim Submission
We verify patient insurance eligibility, code each encounter accurately using the latest CPT and ICD-10 guidelines, and submit claims electronically within 24-48 hours.
Denial Management
Claims that require correction are flagged, fixed, and resubmitted at the clearinghouse level. Denied claims are appealed promptly with full documentation.
Payment Posting
All payments are posted to your patient accounts in real time. You receive direct deposit of insurance payments to your practice bank account.
Patient Billing
Patient statements are sent with our contact information, not yours, so billing questions go directly to our team.
Reporting and Review
You receive monthly reports with practice-specific metrics: claim volumes, denial rates, days in A/R, collection rates, and revenue trends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide provider credentialing services?
At this time, we do not provide provider credentialing services. Our expertise is focused exclusively on delivering accurate, efficient, and customized medical billing and revenue cycle management solutions. By maintaining this specialized focus, we ensure the highest level of service and support for our clients’ billing operations.
How does your medical billing fee structure work?
We tailor our pricing to each practice based on your specialty, claim volume, and specific needs. We offer both a percentage-based model tied to the collections we bring in — meaning our success is directly aligned with yours — and a flat-rate monthly invoice option for predictable expenses and better cash flow. During a free consultation, we’ll provide a clear, transparent breakdown with no hidden fees.
How do you handle claim denials and appeals?
We maintain a target denial rate at or less than 2% of submitted claims on the first pass. Claims that are denied are corrected and resubmitted at the clearinghouse. Those that sneak through are corrected and resubmitted when the EOB is posted. The same process applies to appeals.
Do you work with our existing EHR or practice management system?
Yes. We can use our own in-house billing system or work directly with your existing system. Our team has experience integrating with a wide range of EHR and practice management platforms, ensuring a seamless transition without disrupting your workflow.
What specialties do you have experience billing for?
We have extensive experience across more than 20 specialties, including Cardiology, Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, ENT, Family Practice, Gastroenterology, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Primary Care, Psychiatry, Surgery, Urgent Care, and many more. If your specialty is not listed, please contact us — we likely have experience in your area.
How do you ensure HIPAA compliance and data security?
We take data security seriously. All patient information is handled with strict adherence to HIPAA regulations. We use secure, encrypted systems for data transmission and storage, and our team undergoes regular training on privacy and security best practices. We also enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every client.
How long does it take to get started once we sign up?
The onboarding process typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your practice. We work closely with your team during this transition to ensure a smooth handoff with minimal disruption to your revenue cycle. Our goal is to have you fully operational and seeing results as quickly as possible.
