Advantages of Direct Patient Care
Faster Access
Most routine appointments can often be accommodated within the same week or the following week, depending on availability.
Appointments That Are Not Rushed
Visit length is based on the time needed to address your concerns rather than an insurance-driven schedule.
More Time With the Doctor
Perfect Skin MD limits the number of patients seen each day so Dr. Schroeder can provide focused, face-to-face care.
Physician-Led Care
Your dermatology evaluation and treatment are performed by Dr. Susan Schroeder, a board-certified dermatologist with fellowship training in cosmetic and surgical dermatology.
Transparent Pricing
You know what your visit or procedure will cost before moving forward, reducing the risk of unexpected bills months later.
More Treatment Flexibility
Treatment decisions can be based on your medical needs and goals rather than the limitations of an insurance network.
What Does Direct Patient Care Mean?
Direct Patient Care means Perfect Skin MD is paid directly by the patient rather than billing an insurance carrier for the physician's services. There are no insurance co-pays, network restrictions, or delayed insurance statements for services provided by Dr. Schroeder.
This is not a concierge membership program. You do not pay an ongoing membership fee simply to access the practice. Instead, you pay for the visit or procedure you receive.
For some patients, particularly those with high-deductible plans, direct-pay dermatology may also make costs easier to understand before care is provided.

- Schedule directly with Perfect Skin MD. You do not need to wait for an insurance referral.

Important insurance information: Perfect Skin MD is a direct-pay medical practice and does not participate with Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, or private medical insurance for physician services. Medicare beneficiaries must sign the required private contract before receiving services. Insurance may still apply separately to outside services such as laboratory testing, pathology, prescription medications, or imaging, depending on your individual coverage.
Scheduling and Payment
You may book an appointment online or contact Perfect Skin MD for scheduling assistance.
A credit card on file or another approved payment arrangement may be required when scheduling. Some longer cosmetic or surgical appointments may require a deposit because extended physician time is reserved specifically for you.
