Planning Your Visit

New Patients

Thank you for choosing Larchmont Dermatology. We look forward to meeting you. Paperwork for new patients is located here.

Insurance

It is the patient’s responsibility to understand insurance coverage and requirements.

As a small practice, we are limited in the number of insurance plans in which we participate.  We are in-network for the following plans:

  • Medicare (Regular government plan, not Medicare Advantage plans)

  • The Empire Plan  (Note: This is not the same as Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield)

  • UMR – POMCO Select only

Any other insurance plan is out-of-network for our office.  All out-of-network visits are paid in full by the patient at the time of the visit.  We will gladly file a claim form for you as long as you do not have a managed care plan (HMO or EPO) which does not allow for out-of-network visits.  Of course, cosmetic procedures are never submitted to an insurance plan and are always paid for at the time of service.  Additionally, please note that many other procedures or visits are considered cosmetic by insurance companies and you may need to pay out of pocket for these visits (such as skin tag removals, destruction of benign growths, milia removal, injection of acne cysts, hair loss, etc). Any charges deemed “non-covered” by your insurance company will be your responsibility and due at the time of visit. 

IN PREPARATION FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • Please bring an your insurance card(s) and a list of current medications.

  • Please note that a credit card on file is required at the time of check in. The card information will be securely stored and will only be charged in case of "no show" fees or for balance billing after insurance processing. You will receive a receipt via email for any credit card charges. 

  • Avoid heavy makeup. 

  • If you are being seen for acne, rash, or eczema, please bring a list of any topical products including prescription creams, over the counter remedies, lotions, ointments, shampoos, etc. 

  • If you are seeking a second opinion, please bring any relevant medical records (labs, biopsy results, prior medications used to treat skin condition, office visit notes).

  • If you are a new patient, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment so that we may scan your insurance cards and go over your paperwork.

NO SHOW POLICY:

As a courtesy to our staff and other patients, please notify us in advance of any cancellations or schedule changes. 

In the event that you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call, text, or e-mail 24 hours prior, 48 hours for cosmetic procedures, or a no-show fee of $50-75 will be automatically charged to your credit card on file. If you consistently “no show” your appointments, you may not be rescheduled.
