Dermatology billing services
What do dermatology billing services and virtual assistants cover?
HelpSquad provides HIPAA-compliant virtual assistants for dermatology practices who handle billing and claims, prior authorizations, scheduling and patient calls.
What does it cover?
Dermatology billing and claims, denial follow-up, prior authorizations, insurance verification, new patient calls, skin check bookings and reschedules.
What does it cost?
$8 to $10 an hour for billing and back office work, and $10 to $13 an hour for patient-facing work like phones and scheduling, on a full-time schedule. Part-time schedules are quoted individually, and there are no replacement fees. See pricing.
What stays in-house?
Diagnosis, procedures, biopsy results and anything clinical stay with your providers. The assistant routes those calls to your clinical team and handles the administrative work around them.
Why dermatology practices work with HelpSquad
Cleaner claims. Fewer missed calls.
Four pressure points dermatology practices bring to us. Every engagement starts by mapping the claims and calls that cost your practice the most today.
3.3hrs/day
Dermatologists and their staff spend an average of 3.3 hours a day on prior authorizations. In a 2020 American Academy of Dermatology survey, practices reported that 24% of patients need one, 45% of decisions take more than a week, and 12% of prior authorizations end with treatment delayed or abandoned.
01
Claims submitted clean, denials worked.
Dermatology claims carry same-day procedures, modifiers and frequent biopsies. A trained back office team submits them clean and works every denial instead of writing it off.
02
Medical and cosmetic kept apart.
Insurance-billed visits and self-pay cosmetic services handled separately, with patients told what they will pay before the appointment, not after.
03
Prior authorizations before the visit.
Specialty medications and procedures that need payer approval are started early and followed up, so patients are not rescheduled for paperwork.
04
A front desk that keeps up.
New patient calls, skin check bookings and reschedules answered live, from $8/hr for full-time staffing (part-time schedules are quoted individually), while your in-office team stays with patients.
How we support dermatology practices
What does a dermatology virtual assistant handle?
Six lanes of support. Start with billing or the front desk, then add the rest as you grow.
02
Medical vs cosmetic.
Insurance-billed visits kept separate from self-pay cosmetic services, with clear quotes for cosmetic work so patients know the cost before they book.
03
Prior authorization.
Payer approval requested and tracked for specialty medications and procedures before the visit, with the clinical team looped in when documentation is needed.
04
Scheduling and front desk.
New patient calls, skin check bookings and reschedules handled live. Biopsy result calls are routed straight to your clinical team, never discussed by the assistant.
05
Insurance verification.
Coverage, copays, deductibles and referral requirements confirmed before the visit, so there are no surprises at checkout.
06
Trained on your system.
Your assistant is trained on your dermatology EHR and billing software during onboarding, and works inside it on a HIPAA-compliant virtual desktop.
Dermatology medical billing
Dermatology medical billing done right.
Most dermatology claim problems come from two places. Our team works claims, denials and patient balances with both built in, whether you want a managed billing team or a dedicated billing assistant inside your own software.
- Modifier 25 on same-day visits. When an E/M visit and a minor procedure, such as a biopsy, happen on the same day, the visit needs modifier 25 and documentation showing it was significant and separately identifiable. It is a common denial reason when it is missing or not supported.
- Cosmetic services are not billed to insurance. The front desk sets expectations and quotes self-pay prices before the visit, so medical and cosmetic charges never get mixed on a claim.
- Unpaid claims followed up. Claims that stall are followed up on a set schedule, not when someone has a free afternoon.
Sources: AMA on modifier 25 and CMS Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12.
HIPAA
Protected from the first call.
Every assistant handles patient information under a company-level agreement, on a secure virtual desktop, trained on HIPAA before they touch a record.
- BAA signed between your practice and HelpSquad, not with an individual contractor.
- Work happens on a HIPAA-compliant virtual desktop, never on a personal computer.
- No copy, paste or download of patient information, and single-user logins only.
