Insurance and billing FAQs
Answers to common questions around billing and insurance for your treatments.
Forefront Dermatology does accept the majority of the insurance providers in the area that the clinic is located. Please contact your insurance provider to see if we are in network with your plan. On the front or the back of your insurance card you will find a phone number that will allow you to contact your insurance provider to determine if we are in or out of network.
A co-pay, short for "co-payment," is a small, fixed amount of money that the insurance provider requires the insured person to pay at the time of service each time he or she comes in for an office visit.
If you have insurance coverage, you will receive a statement from Forefront Dermatology after we receive an explanation of benefits from your insurance provider. If you do not have insurance coverage, you will receive a statement about a week after your office visit. If you do not owe anything for a specific visit after the insurance responds, you will not receive a statement from Forefront Dermatology. You will only receive a statement from us if you have a balance on your account.
If you believe that you received a statement in error, call the Forefront Dermatology billing department at 866.630.9882, and they will be more than willing to assist with any of your questions.
Forefront Dermatology will evaluate and treat your dermatology condition regardless of insurance. For patients without insurance, an upfront charge will be required before seeing the physician. Once you are evaluated, the physician will determine the charges and bill you for any remaining balance. Fees will differ for surgical appointments.
Forefront Dermatology accepts cash, personal checks, money orders, FSA, HRA, HSA, debit card, and VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit card payments. You can pay your bill online.
In-network providers are providers who are contracted with your specific insurance plan. When providers are contracted with your plan, the benefits from the insurance company are much greater than if the provider is not contracted (out-of-network) with your plan. When providers are out-of-network with your plan, the benefits will be much less from the insurance company than if the provider was in-network. If you do not see your billing-related or financial question answered here, please do not hesitate to call us. We are here to help! Call 866.630.9882.
