Time For Your Skin® Direct Care Pricing

Time For Your Skin® is our direct to patient preferred pricing model. We offer 15-minute and 30-minute appointments to address your medical concerns.

Your appointment will be upgraded to a procedural medical visit if a minor procedure is required. This includes any biopsies, skin tag removal, or cryosurgery freezings for precancers treatment during your appointment time.

You only pay one price no matter how many minor procedures are performed during your visit. You are not charged separately for every biopsy, skin tag removal, or precancer freezing treatment. 

This can save you money compared to practices that take private insurance.

All new patients are scheduled for a full 30-minute medical dermatology appointment to allow sufficient time to review your medical history, perform a full-body skin examination, and address all your dermatological concerns.

Follow up appointments are scheduled based on your specific needs and are 15-minute or 30-minute appointments.

Accepting Medicare Patients in Fort Laurderdale

How much is a dermatologist appointment without insurance

We accept Medicare patients at our downtown Fort Lauderdale location. However, patients covered by Medicare must be billed under the specific Medicare guidelines and, at this time, cannot be billed under our Time For Your Skin® direct care dermatology model.

HERE ARE ANSWERS TO SOME FREQUETLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PRACTICE MODEL

Frequently Asked Questions

What insurances do you take?

We accept Medicare and PHP patients covered by the AIDS Health Foundation. We are considered out of network for all private insurances giving our patients the freedom to choose any physician they want.

In addition, we can provide you with a standard CMS-1500 claim form so that you can process the claim directly with your insurance. Your private insurance may reimburse you directly or apply the claim toward your out of network deductible.

We kindly ask that you call the office at 954-463-5406 to schedule an appointment and inform our staff that you are covered by Medicare.

Can I use my insurance for prescriptions with direct care?

Yes, you can still use your health insurance for prescriptions at your pharmacy.

We try to prescribe generics as much as possible. That being said even some generic medications have increased dramatically in price. If that is the case, we will work to find alternatives medications or pharmacies to assist you.

What are the lab pathology fees?

We have negotiated a special rate with the pathology lab for $65 per specimen. We collect this fee on behalf of the patient and pay the lab directly so patients shouldn’t receive another bill.

If you wish to use your commercial medical insurance for laboratory fees then please inform the office at the time of your visit. Keep in mind that depending on your insurance the commercial insurance rate may be higher than our negotiated rate.

When is payment due for service?

Payment is due at checkout for all medical, cosmetic, and surgical visits. We accept all credit, Health Savings Account (HSA), and Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) cards. We will hold your credit card information in our secure processing system at the time of booking. Charges will be applied for no-shows and cosmetic and surgical deposits. HSA and FSA cards must be used for non-cosmetic services. Some procedures may require a deposit at the time of booking.

I'm a new patient, do I need to do anything prior to my appointment?

All new patients require a consultation (30-minute visit) to review medical history and to receive a full skin examination. Please arrive early to complete the new patient paperwork.  Certain appointments such as surgical and cosmetic procedures will require a deposit to reserve your appointment.

Will I see the physician or a nurse practioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA) during my visit?

We believe that you should be seen by a board certified physician at each visit. Our practice does not employ any physician assistants or nurse practitioners.

Can I still be reimbursed by my insurance company or could the fees be appllied to my deductible?

If you wish to file a claim for your visit through your health insurance then please inform our staff at the time of your visit. Depending on your insurance, your visit may be covered as an out of network visit. We charge a small $25 fee for our time to code your visit and file a claim on your behalf. If the claim is accepted by your insurance then all or some of the charges may get reimbursed directly to you. You should also receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) in the mail from your insurance company.

Surgical Dermatology Rates

Dr. Villacorta performs skin surgery under local anesthesia in our outpatient office. Our surgical rates are based on time spent in surgery. The table to the right gives an approximate time for common surgical procedures.

Mohs surgery is typically reserved for surgical treatment of skin cancer on the face, scalp, hands, feet, and genitalia. It is also commonly performed for rare forms of skin cancer or cases where a skin cancer has recurred.

While we do not offer Mohs surgery at our office, we work closely with a number of dermatologists in our community that perform the Mohs procedure. If you require Mohs for treatment, we will refer you to one of our community physicians and work closely with them to get you the appropriate treatment.
