Why Dermatology Billing Requires a Specialized Approach

Dermatology is more than just skin deep—and so is your billing. At Az2 Billing, we specialize in end-to-end dermatology medical billing services to maximize reimbursements, minimize errors, and keep your practice running smoothly.

Dermatology involves a complex mix of medical, surgical, and cosmetic services—often in the same visit. This makes accurate billing a challenge for general billing companies.

We understand the nuances of dermatology-specific:

  1. CPT codes for excisions, biopsies, and lesion destruction
  2. Modifiers that can affect reimbursement
  3. Global periods for surgical procedures
  4. Medical necessity documentation for skin conditions

With Az2 Billing, you get a partner who’s fluent in dermatology, from acne treatment codes to advanced Mohs procedures.

Insurance Challenges in Dermatology Billing

Dealing with insurance companies is half the battle in dermatology billing. Common issues include:

  1. Denied claims for cosmetic vs. medical treatment
  2. Under-coding or over-coding that leads to audits
  3. Bundling issues with procedures like biopsies + excisions
  4. Authorization denials for high-cost dermatology treatments

We proactively handle these challenges with:

  1. Pre-checks for medical necessity
  2. Correct coding combinations
  3. Appeal management for underpaid or denied claims
  4. Transparent claim tracking and reporting
