Dermatology
Dermatology billing that separates medical from cosmetic
Dermatology practices bill medical visits, procedures and pathology, while cosmetic services are paid by patients directly. Optimus keeps that line clear and checks procedure claims before submission. Billing starts at 2.9%* of collections.
Where dermatology billing gets difficult
What your biller needs to get right
- 01
Medical versus cosmetic
Insurance covers medically necessary care, not cosmetic services. Billing one as the other invites denials and audits.
- 02
Biopsies and excisions
These are coded by method, site and size, and pathology adds a separate claim.
- 03
Mohs surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery has its own codes and documentation requirements.
Dermatology practices pay the same way as every Optimus client: billing from 2.9%* of collections, set by your monthly collections, providers and locations. See pricing page or how our medical billing service works.
