Payment is expected at the time services are rendered at Dallas Associated Dermatologists for medical and cosmetic services and products. For your convenience, we accept many insurance plans and offer an array of other payment options, including cash and check.
Most treatments for skin diseases are covered by insurance to some degree. However, many cosmetic procedures are not covered under many medical healthcare plans. And, to make it more complex, a procedure that is categorized as medial dermatology and covered under one plan, may be considered cosmetic dermatology and not covered under another, even though it is actually the same service being provided. Please refer to your individual plan for such coverage details.
Insurance
Although our practice is contracted as a provider for many major health insurance carriers in the Metroplex, it is the patient’s responsibility to know what insurance company currently provides his or her coverage and the details of that coverage – including which treatments and procedures are covered within that plan. Employers often change plans annually, so we will ask to see your insurance card/information at each visit. This step helps to ensure that our records are accurate and your claim may be filed and paid with as little inconvenience to you as possible.
Please have the following information available when you schedule your appointment AND when you check in for your appointment:
Subscriber or Insured’s Information:

Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s)
When checking in for an appointment, please let us know if you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) in connection with your high deductible health plan. Depending upon whether your deductible has been met, we will handle the office visit charges in one of two ways:
- If you have met your deductible, please bring evidence, such as a copy of your most recent Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement, so that we may bill your insurance plan for the visit and services.
- If you have not met your deductible, we will still bill your insurance carrier for your visit charges; however, we will also collect a $50 fee from you at the time of your visit. Once we receive our Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement from your insurance carrier, we will bill you for any remaining balance.
Credit Cards
We accept most major credit cards including: Mastercard, VISA, American Express, and Discover.
