FAQs

 
  • Excessive rules and high fees have resulted in skyrocketing healthcare costs. Patients pay expensive insurance premiums yet still cannot afford care due to high deductibles and co-pays. To make matters worse, patients have no idea what their out-of-pocket costs are until they receive a surprise bill months later.

    We take a simpler approach. By eliminating third parties from our practice, we reduce our administrative costs and pass these savings onto you. Patients know upfront what they will pay for their care. We call this price transparency. There are no surprise bills or statements that show up after the visit.

    Patients with high deductibles or no insurance will likely find that our fees are significantly lower than what they are currently paying out-of-pocket. For those who have out-of-network benefits, we can provide (for a nominal fee) a “superbill” so that you can submit an insurance claim for possible reimbursement.

  • We are only contracted with Tricare. We are not in-network with any other insurance companies. We offer free market healthcare services and welcome all to our practice, regardless of insurance status.

    Patients pay a reasonable fee, in full, for their care at the time of their visit. We do not work for insurance companies or the government. We work for YOU.

    Our pricing is transparent. Since we do not accept insurance, we are able to be transparent about our pricing, and we charge what we say we do. For ancillary services, such as pathology, bloodwork, and prescriptions, you may choose to use your insurance, however our fees/prices are often lower than those submitted through insurance.

    We accept Health Saving Accounts (HSA), Flex Spending Accounts (FSA), cash and credit cards (American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Visa).

  • We contract directly with the patient and do not bill Medicare for any of our services. You will be asked to sign a private contract with Conde Dermatology acknowledging that Medicare cannot and will not be billed for services provided at Conde Dermatology.

    You may still use your Medicare coverage for ancillary services like pathology, bloodwork, and prescriptions ordered by Dr. Conde and for all of your other care provided by participating physicians.

  • Absolutely! Conde Dermatology does not contract with insurance, therefore, office visit and procedure fees are paid directly to the practice but you can choose to use your insurance for pathology, lab and prescriptions.

    While you may choose to use your insurance for these services, many of our patients find our pathology fees, laboratory fees and prescription costs are lower than those billed through their insurance.

  • Pathology fees, if required, are charged separately from your office visit. While insurance companies typically bill around $200 for this, our fee is currently a flat $65 collected at the time of your visit. You may choose to use your insurance or pay the cash fee, whichever is better for you.

  • Those insured by Medicare cannot submit claims for reimbursement.

    Privately insured patients may submit claims to their insurer retroactively, however, Conde Dermatology makes no representation that you will be reimbursed for these claims. We recommend that you check with your insurance company regarding out-of-network benefits before submitting any claims.

    Upon request, we can provide a “superbill” for you after your visit to submit your claim for the major private insurers.

  • Absolutely! We encourage all of our eligible patients to enroll in an HSA and to use these funds to pay for any medical services rendered at Conde Dermatology. You do not need an HSA or FSA to be a patient in our practice as we accept most forms of payment.

  • You will always see a physician, Dr. Conde - a Board Certified Dermatologist - at Conde Dermatology. Dr. Conde believes all patients deserve the absolute best care provided by the most highly trained professionals in dermatology. You will never see a midlevel provider for your care.
