WELCOME TO LINCOLN ROAD DERMATOLOGY!
Thank you for trusting us with your dermatologic care. To ensure a seamless and positive experience, please review this summary of our key policies. You will be required to sign the full financial and office consent form during your visit. For complete details, visit our website at lincolnderm.com/patient-resources.
CREDIT CARD ON FILE REQUIREMENT
Our office requires a valid credit card on file (CCOF) for all patients as a first step to being seen. This ensures timely payment for balances, including copays, deductibles, coinsurance, cosmetic or elective services, and any denied insurance claims. Adding a CCOF cannot be bypassed and is part of the check-in process.
CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS
Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment to update or input your medical information in our iPad system. Bringing your insurance card, ID, and a valid form of payment will help streamline the process. Kindly note that we do not accept checks.
INSURANCE RESPONSIBILITY
It is your responsibility to understand your insurance plan and verify if we are in-network. Our office relies on an insurance verification system to confirm coverage to the best of its ability; however, this system is not infallible, and we cannot guarantee its accuracy. Any costs not covered by insurance remain your responsibility. If your insurance denies coverage or delays payment, up to $225 may be collected from your CCOF for the consultative portion of the visit.
PAYMENT POLICIES
Payment is required at the time of service for all anticipated copays, deductibles, coinsurance, cosmetic or elective services, self-pay services, and in-office purchases. Cosmetic consultations are separate from medical visits and incur a fee, as they are not covered by insurance.
LAB FEES AND PROCEDURES
Most lab services, such as pathology, are performed by independent labs and billed directly to you. For self-pay patients, we provide upfront pricing and process payment on your behalf. In-office procedures, such as biopsies or cryotherapy, are billed separately from consultation fees.
MISSED APPOINTMENTS
Missed appointments or late cancellations (less than 24 hours’ notice) will incur a $50 fee for medical visits and a $75 fee for surgical, cosmetic, or aesthetic visits. First-time no-shows require an additional $50 deposit to reschedule.
MEDICAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND TELEMEDICINE
I consent to medical photography for records and telemedicine services if agreed upon. If telemedicine coverage is denied, I understand I am responsible for a $225 fee.
HIPAA COMPLIANCE AND COMMUNICATION
I acknowledge that Lincoln Road Dermatology’s Notice of Privacy Practices and Florida Patient Bill of Rights are available online. I consent to receive communications via phone, text, or email regarding appointments, billing, and medical results.
SMALL LOBBY NOTICE
Our lobby space is limited, so we kindly ask that you avoid bringing large items such as skateboards, bikes, or scooters into the office. This helps us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all patients.
