Dermatology Medical Billing
Precision Billing for Skin, Hair & Cosmetic Care
At Billingbird, we provide expert dermatology billing solutions tailored to the unique clinical and cosmetic services offered by dermatologists. Whether your practice focuses on general dermatology, surgical procedures, or cosmetic treatments, our experienced billing professionals ensure accurate coding, compliant claims, and optimized reimbursements.
Why Dermatology Billing Requires Expertise ?
Dermatology is a diverse specialty encompassing:
General dermatologic care (e.g., acne, psoriasis)
Minor and major skin surgeries
Skin biopsies and lesion excisions
Cosmetic procedures (e.g., Botox, chemical peels)
Mohs surgery
Phototherapy and laser treatments
Each service has distinct coding guidelines and reimbursement rules. Cosmetic procedures, for example, are typically not covered by insurance, requiring careful out-of-pocket billing and patient communication.
We help dermatology clinics avoid under-coding, bundling errors, and compliance issues by leveraging specialty-specific billing knowledge and streamlined systems.
