Insurance
We currently participate in
Medicare, Blue cross/Blue shield, HMO Blue, Local 1115 and First
Option. We will be happy to submit charges to insurance plans we do
not participate in, but only for covered charges over $200.00.
Referrals and pre-approvals
During consultation it may be
determined you need a special dermatology procedure for treatment of a
wart, growth or rash. These procedures will not be done at the time of
your first visit because of scheduling limitations and insurance plan
rules. Some treatments are not covered by insurance plans where they
consider the problem "cosmetic". If this may apply to you,
you will be given a form explaining it in more detail.
Appointments
Appointments are scheduled
Mondays and Thursdays in the Toms River office until 3 pm. We are in
Forked River Monday evening until 8 pm and Wednesday and Friday until

urgent appointments can often be worked in within 24 hours if
requested. Call at 9 am to try to get a same day appointment.
