We are unable to refund for cosmetic procedures.
Skin care products may be return for a full refund up to 14 days from the date of purchase. To initiate a refund, please bring your skin care product back to Cosmopolitan Dermatology. Our staff will provide you with a return receipt and a refund check will be mailed to you within 30 days.
Helpful Hints on Managing Your Prescription Refills
The fastest way to get a refill on your prescription is to contact your pharmacy. If refills aren't available to you, the pharmacist will contact our office via fax or telephone call. We ask you to go through your pharmacist to prevent errors with your medications. Please be aware that prescription refills may take up to 48 hours to be completed. It is best to call for your refill request before your medication runs out, so there is no lapse in your treatment.
Insurance- We participate in many insurance plans. If you are insured by a plan we participate with, you must provide us with a current copy of your insurance card at each visit. Please see the definitions below for more information regarding In-Network, Out of Network, and Non-Participating. It is your responsibility to know your benefits and we encourage you to check with your insurance company if you have any question regarding your benefits.
Payment at the Time of Service - We ask that you pay your co-payment on the day of service. Please remember that in a dermatological setting, the co-payment you will owe may be higher than your primary care co-payment. Cosmetic procedures will not be billed to your insurance. Payment in full is due at the time of service for all cosmetic/aesthetic procedures.
Submission of Claims - On your behalf, we will submit your insurance claim to your insurance carrier. It is important, however, to remember that your insurance is a contract between you and your insurer. Although we file insurance claims as a courtesy to you, you are still responsible for payment of services regardless of the amount your insurance pays.
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information.
PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") is a Federal program that requests that all medical records and other individually identifiable health information used or disclosed by us in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally are kept properly confidential. This Act gives you, the patient, the right to understand and control how your personal health information ("PHI") is used. HIPAA provides penalties for covered entities that misuse personal health information.
As required by HIPAA, we prepared this explanation of how we are to maintain the privacy of your health information and how we may disclose your personal information.
We may use and disclose your medical records only for each of the following purposes: treatment, payment and health care operation. More specifically:
We may also create and distribute de-identified health information by removing all reference to individually identifiable information.
We may contact you, by phone or in writing, to provide appointment reminders or information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services, in addition to other fundraising communications, that may be of interest to you. You do have the right to "opt out" with respect to receiving fundraising communications from us.
The following use and disclosures of PHI will only be made pursuant to us receiving a written authorization from you:
You may revoke such authorization in writing and we are required to honor and abide by that written request, except to the extent that we have already taken actions relying on your authorization.
You may have the following rights with respect to your PHI:
If you have paid for services “out of pocket”, in full, and you request that we do not disclose PHI related solely to those services to a health plan, we will accommodate your request, except where we are required by law to make a disclosure.
We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information and to provide you the notice of our legal duties and our privacy practice with respect to PHI.
This notice is effective as May 2015 and it is our intention to abide by the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices and HIPAA Regulations currently in effect. We reserve the right to change the terms of our Notice of Privacy Practice and to make the new notice provision effective for all PHI that we maintain. We will post and you may request a written copy of the revised Notice of Privacy Practice from our office.
You have recourse if you feel that your protections have been violated by our office. You have the right to file a formal, written complaint with the office and with the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
