Dorado Dermatology is a DIRECT-PAY practice, which means that we do not participate in any health insurance plans. Payment will be due at the time of service. You may still wish to use insurance benefits for prescriptions at the pharmacy or laboratory studies. If you have out-of-network benefits with your commercial insurance plan, we can assist you in submitting your claim for reimbursement. You will need a super bill from our office, which we are happy to provide for an additional fee of $10.
