Insurance Policies

Danesh Dermatology accepts most major insurance providers, including Medicare. Cosmetic procedures are not typically covered by insurance.

Please call our office to confirm that your specific plan is accepted.

If your insurance plan has a co-pay, you will be responsible for the co-pay for a specialist. If you have not reached your insurance plan’s deductible, you may also be responsible for additional costs associated with your visit.
