Medical Services
Pricing includes any in office testing required as well as minor procedures performed same visit.
*Pathology fees (performed by outside lab) are not included (see below)
Visits longer than 30 minutes are rarely necessary but can be quoted upon request. We are almost always able to complete each visit within the scheduled amount of time, but there may be rare situations where this is not possible. If your visit runs significantly over the scheduled amount of time, you may be charged (with your prior approval) for the additional time at the same rates as outlined above.
Minor procedures include: cryotherapy, other minor destructions, comedone/milia extractions (up to 5) and skin biopsies. Skin biopsies can only be done with a Level 2 or higher visit.
Other Fees
*Pathology fees - pathology specimens (from skin biopsies and other sampling methods) are processed by an outside lab and there is a separate fee for each sample processed. Pathology may be submitted through insurance, if desired. However, Liu Dermatology is in no way responsible for any pathology bills that arise as a result of submitting through insurance. For uninsured patients and patients with high deductibles, we have negotiated a low self-pay pathology rate - $75 per specimen, as well as discounted pricing on many other lab services.
Administrative fees:
- Coded receipt (private insurances only) - $5
- Select prior authorizations - $2
- 5FMLA/disability paperwork - $25
- Other paperwork - $25
We will inform you beforehand if any extra fees are involved.
