DERMATOLOGY
Dermatology Billing Services
Dermatology combines medical visits, procedures and, in many practices, cosmetic services. Each follows different billing rules, and procedures often need modifiers and supporting documentation. AviRex RCM provides dermatology billing support that keeps medical claims accurate and clearly separates them from self-pay cosmetic work.
