Don't Let Dermatology Revenue Fade Without Warning

Denials in dermatology billing often build quietly. Cosmetic vs medical coding gets blurred. Pathology reports go unmatched. Biologic injections face payer pushback. And global periods cause unflagged overlaps.

Where Revenue Gets Lost

  • Modifier 25 denials when billed with E/M on procedure days
  • Cosmetic procedures miscoded as medically necessary
  • Missing pathology crosswalk for skin biopsies
  • Biologic injections rejected for absent prior auth
  • Phototherapy sessions denied for LCD mismatch
  • Global periods overlooked for repeat excisions or Mohs
  • Cosmetic carve-outs untracked in payer contracts

Dermatology Billing Risks We Monitor

Modifier 25 and 59 edits on same-day E/M + procedures
Overlapping global periods for excisions, grafts, or Mohs
Missed prior authorization for biologics and lasers
Bundled dermpath claims missing biopsy-to-pathology link
Carve-out denials for cosmetic exclusions

Complete Dermatology Billing Solutions

Dermatology-Specific Coding

From Mohs staging to shave biopsies, our coders know dermatology’s complex CPT/ICD-10 pairings.

Denial Management & Appeals

We identify trends (modifier, cosmetic exclusions, dermpath denials) and appeal aggressively.

Payer Rules Monitoring

We track modifier 25 rules, state Medicaid LCDs, and commercial carve-outs to prevent common rejections.

Claim Scrubbing & Charge Entry

Every claim is checked against dermatology-specific edits before submission.

Payment Posting & Reconciliation

We match payments with EOBs, flag underpayments, and monitor carve-outs.sion.

Analytics & Custom Reporting

Track denial rates by CPT (Mohs, biologics, excisions) and revenue per subspecialty.
