For pediatric patients, please refer to Pediatric Dermatology at Dartmouth Health Children's.
Is dermatology covered by insurance?
Some health insurance policies require that you have a referral from your family doctor (primary care provider, or PCP) to make an appointment. Please review your health insurance coverage before calling for an appointment.
Note: Cosmetic dermatology services are considered optional and are therefore not covered by insurance. Consultations are available and include a comprehensive exam and an overview of recommended options. All procedures must be paid in full at the time the appointment is scheduled.
What is a dermatology shared medical appointment?
Shared medical appointments offer an interactive approach to healthcare that brings patients together who have common needs. If you have an appointment at Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Heater Road, you may be scheduled for a shared medical appointment. For more information, see "Shared Medical Appointments" on the Scheduling Appointments page.
