At Pinnacle Dermatology, we accept most major insurances and will file claims on your behalf. However, we cannot guarantee payment. It is your responsibility to call your insurance company to make sure our office is in your network, and that you are covered for the services you will receive from us. You are also responsible for all authorizations and referrals from your insurance and primary care providers if your insurance requires one.

You are responsible for knowing your copayment, co-insurance, and deductible amounts. You are responsible for all payments not covered by your insurance company, and we expect payment at the time of your visit unless approved by our billing department in advance.  

For patients or services not covered by insurance, we offer affordable self-pay rates.

If you have any questions, please call our clinic at (501) 817-3923.

Pathology and Laboratory

All pathology and laboratory services will be performed by an outside facility. We are pleased to have agreements with specific pathology and laboratory companies that are willing to offer our patients significant savings for these services. Labs will be billed by Quest Diagnostics. Pathology will be billed separately by Prime Medical Group.

​

Good Faith Estimate Policy

Under the Good Faith Estimate Law, when requested by the patient we are required to provide you with an estimate of the total price in which you may be charged for nonemergency health care service. Estimates are not binding on the practitioner. The final price may vary from the estimate based on the patient’s medical needs. The estimate provided does not include additional services that may be needed, such as Dermatopathology and Immunodermatology (diagnostic testing of fluids or tissue, and additional staining. The estimate is only good for 30 days. If you wish to have an estimate, please ask one of our staff members to assist you.

Skin tags

Unlike medical procedures, skin tag removal is generally not a service covered by insurance. As a result, it is paid for out-of-pocket by the patient. The cost per routine skin tag removal for cosmetic purposes can range between $150 to $300, depending on location and size. The cost can be higher if multiple skin tags are being removed.
