After each visit, a superbill will be sent to you via Klara within 48 hours. You can submit this to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Missed Appointments
Failure to attend scheduled appointments multiple times without appropriate notice may result in being dismissed from the practice. 

To reserve your appointment, a $50.00 deposit will be required. This deposit secures your spot on our schedule, preventing it from being offered to another patient.

We accept cash, checks, all major credit cards (except American Express), as well as Health Spending Accounts (HSAs) and Flex Spending Accounts (FSAs). Payment is due at the time of service.

Yes! Office visits and procedure fees are paid directly to the practice. However, you can choose to use your insurance for pathology fees, bloodwork, and prescriptions.

Pathology and lab processing fees are dependent on the vendor (e.g., Quest, LabCorp, Bridge Pathology, etc.). If you would like your specimen sent to a specific location, please inform us at the time of your visit. Please note that you are responsible for payment of these fees directly to the vendor.

Bergen Dermatology will send all prescriptions to Bergen Medical Pharmacy, which can fulfill most prior authorizations on our behalf. However, if your prescription plan requires that our office perform a prior authorization, please note that there will be an additional $30 charge. This fee covers the time and resources needed to complete the prior authorization process.

It’s possible to receive top-quality dermatological care from the comfort of your own home (or anywhere else)! Dr. Boakye can address most medical skin concerns via telemedicine, and virtual cosmetic consultations are a convenient way to save time without a trip to the office. The cost for a virtual new patient visit is $225.00, and a virtual follow-up visit is $165.00.

Bergen Dermatology has transitioned to a direct-care model, which means we no longer accept insurance. This change allows me to spend more one-on-one time with patients, building a strong ongoing relationship. It also enables me to take a holistic approach to skin health, integrating overall wellness. The cost of a new patient visit is $275.00, and a follow-up visit is $225.00. Please note, this fee covers the office visit only. Any treatments or procedures performed will be billed separately.

The consultation fee is $150.00. This fee will be applied towards the procedure cost if booked within one month of your consultation.

Why do I need to place a deposit if I have insurance?
A deposit holds your appointment and helps minimize no-shows and last-minute cancellations. It is applied toward any out-of-pocket costs at the time of your visit.

Is this deposit my copay?
No, this deposit is separate from your copay. Your insurance company determines your copay, and it will still be due at the time of service.

How much is the deposit?
The deposit amount varies depending on the type of visit. Our team will inform you of the specific amount when scheduling your appointment.

Will I get my deposit back?
Yes. If you attend your appointment and have no out-of-pocket costs, the deposit will be refunded or applied to a future visit.

What happens if I miss my appointment?
Failure to attend scheduled appointments multiple times without appropriate notice may result in being dismissed from the practice. 

How can I pay the deposit?

What if my insurance covers everything?
