INSURANCE INFORMATION

STEEL CITY DERMATOLOGY IS AN INDEPENDENT MEDICAL PRACTICE THAT SPECIALIZES IN DERMATOLOGY.

WHILE WE ACCEPT MANY INSURANCES (E.G. HIGHMARK, MEDICARE), IT IS DIFFICULT TO LIST WITH ACCURACY ALL OF THE INSURANCES WE ACCEPT & OUR NETWORK STATUS WITH EACH INSURER/PLAN - WE ARE IN AN ERA THAT HAS A VERY COMPLEX INSURANCE SYSTEM. THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO DETERMINE OUR NETWORK STATUS (E.G. IN-NETWORK, PREFERRED), IS FOR PATIENTS AND/OR THEIR RESPONSIBLE PARTY TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THEIR INSURER.

BELOW IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION, THAT IS ACCURATE AS OF 15 FEBRUARY 2024 & IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE:

  • NO - WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT AHN CHARITY CARE.

  • IT DEPENDS…

    IF YOU HAVE ONLY COMMERCIAL INSURANCE (E.G. UPMC NON-MEDICARE, NON-MEDICAID), YOU ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE CARE AT STEEL CITY DERMATOLOGY/YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF THE CARE RECEIVED.

    IF YOU HAVE A MEDICARE PLAN, YOUR INSURANCE MUST BE USED FOR THE CARE PROVIDED AT STEEL CITY DERMATOLOGY. IF YOU ARE INSURED BY A MEDICARE PLAN THAT WE DO NOT ACCEPT (E.G. UPMC MEDICARE), YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE CARE AT OUR PRACTICE, EVEN IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR THE CARE YOURSELF.

    IF YOU ARE INSURED BY A MEDICAID PLAN, EVEN IF THE PLAN IS SECONDARY INSURANCE, THAT PERSON IS NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE CARE AT STEEL CITY DERMATOLOGY.

  • NO - STEEL CITY DERMATOLOGY DOES NOT ACCEPT CARE CREDIT FOR COSMETIC OR MEDICAL SERVICES AT THIS TIME.

  • INSURANCE COMPANIES REQUIRE COLLECTION OF COPAYMENTS AT THE TIME OF THE ENCOUNTER.

    CHARGES RELATED TO COSMETIC CARE ARE DUE/REQUIRED TO BE PAID AT THE TIME OF SERVICE.
