Billing for dermatology is not general billing with a different code set. Lesion size, count and margin recorded at the time of excision — reconstructing them afterwards is not possible.
A high cosmetic and self-pay share sitting alongside covered medical care, so the two have to be separated cleanly at the front end.

Coding

Where dermatology claims actually fail
- Lesion measurement missing from the operative note
- Cosmetic services billed as medical
- Multiple-procedure reductions applied unexpectedly
How we work it
We code from what your record documents and query you when it does not support a code, which in dermatology is where most of the avoidable exposure sits.
Denials are worked by cause rather than in queue order, so the same failure stops recurring instead of being re-worked every month.
We keep the books. You run the business.
Categorization, reconciliation, month-end close, and clean financial statements — with nothing left for you to chase.

Dermatology — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have coders who know dermatology?
+
Yes. All coding is performed by certified coders, and specialty assignment is deliberate — lesion size, count and margin recorded at the time of excision — reconstructing them afterwards is not possible.
Do you guarantee we will collect more?
+
No, and nobody honestly can. Payment is decided by the payer. What we commit to is the process and the six numbers we report, which you can check against your own system.
