Dermatology & Medical Insurance?
Ok, well … a little new to insurance and dermatology.
(Please don’t flame me for any naive questions or thinking).
Just have a mole (bigger than normal), a little self-conscious about it, and I want to get rid of it.
My insurance is from Kaiser, so would that mean that I can’t go to any dermatology office to have this thing removed? I can only go to a Kaiser hospital?
I believe this procedure is cosmetics and the insurance will probably not cover it (correct me if I’m wrong), but I spoke to a dermatologists (friend of mine), and he said … well … um … he could get this procedure classified as another procedure so that the insurance will cover.
Thoughts please …
(geez, I feel like to only guy here – no offense)
(sorry I posted twice; I thought it wouldn’t show up on the main board. My bad)
Your insurance will most likely cover this if you or someone in your family has had history of CANCER. some moles can lead to cancer cells. So, If I was you, I would try your Kaiser(HMO), first. You will probably have to see your General practicioner first and he will send you to a Kaiser dermotologist. If they refuse to do it, then you can just go see a dermotologist on your own and pay cash to have it removed as cosmetic procedure. Its a pretty easy procedure, in office usually take a few minutes to remove.
