What is Direct Care Dermatology?

More time with your provider. Transparent pricing. Care that’s focused entirely on you.

A Simpler Way to Access Dermatology

Direct care means we don’t bill insurance companies. You pay directly at the time of your visit—and in return, you get something that’s become rare in healthcare: time.

Without insurance paperwork dictating how long appointments can be or what treatments are “approved,” our skin experts can focus entirely on you. We can listen. Explain what we’re seeing. Answer your questions. And help you make a decision that actually makes sense for your life.

Patient-Centered Focus

Freed from insurance constraints, we focus solely on your health goals.

What This Means for You

Longer Appointments

At SkinWise, you're not rushed. Your visit is as long as it needs to be, with time for questions and real conversation.

Transparent Pricing

You'll know the cost before your treatment. No surprise bills, no confusing insurance statements weeks later.

A Provider Focused on You

When insurance isn't involved, there's no middleman. Our only responsibility is to the patient.

A Few Things to Know

It's not concierge medicine.

There's no membership fee or monthly subscription. You simply pay for each visit.

It's not just for the wealthy.

Many patients find direct care costs about the same—or less—than insurance-based visits once you factor in copays, deductibles, and surprise bills.

It's not cutting corners.

You're getting more time and attention, not less. Direct care lets us focus on quality, not volume.

How Insurance Still Works

We don’t bill insurance for office visits—but that doesn’t mean your insurance
is useless. Here’s how it works:

HSA/FSA Accepted

HSA/FSA cards are accepted for all non-cosmetic medical and surgical services.

Labs & Pathology

You can use our cost-effective in-office lab, or your insurance. Pathology can be billed through insurance, and we offer affordable rates for those without.

Prescriptions

Prescriptions go through your pharmacy and insurance as usual, or we will help you find an affordable cash option.

Insurance Documentation

If you're likely to meet your out-of-network deductible, we'll add insurance codes to your receipt upon request.
