Dr Di Saia and Cosmetic Dermatology

Mole Patrol

Dr Di Saia's practice has two distinct parts: The Cosmetic and the Medically Necessary. Health insurance restricts/denies payments for surgery that they consider "cosmetic."

"I Have These Moles That I Want Removed..."

There was a time a number of years ago in which Dr Di Saia did a lot of skin lesion removal. The Bottom Line: Your insurance company denies the removal of non-cancerous skin lesions. If you have skin cancer, we are usually OK. The recession has helped you out here. We are doing more skin cancer these days. ;)

Patients wanting non-cancerous skin lesions removed are handled in the office on a cash basis. If you are willing to be treated under local anesthesia in the office, we will remove non-cancerous growths at a minimum fee of $700. This is just the doctors fee and covers limited supplies as well.

If you have biopsy-proven skin cancer requiring removal, we can work with your insurer (as long as you are not an HMO patient.)

Does Dr Di Saia Take My Insurance? - Provider Status

At present , Dr Di Saia is a Medicare Provider. This means that the doctor accepts Medicare assignment. For the most part, we offer skin cancer treatment and breast cancer reconstruction to Medicare patients. The doctor can also bill PPO insurance for medically-necessary work.
