The physicians at UnionDerm are specialized dermatologic and laser surgeons; while we perform skin exams as well as diagnose and treat skin cancers, acne and certain vascular conditions, most of our physicians do not practice general dermatology, which includes the diagnosis and treatment of most non-cancerous conditions, such as rashes, allergies or nail problems. For these types of concerns, please make an appointment with Dr. Howe who practices general dermatology, in addition to performing cosmetic treatments.  Dr. Chopra and Dr. Petukhova also treat these conditions at our Hamptons location.

Payment for any deductibles and co-payments is due at the time of service.

For patients seeing Dr. Gmyrek, Dr. MacGregor and Dr. Howe, full payment is due at the time of service, as these physicians do not accept insurance. Our staff will gladly provide the necessary documentation for submitting an insurance claim and any insurance benefits will be paid directly to the patient. Insurance plans vary on their coverage and may provide only partial reimbursement of our fees.

Please note that health insurance plans do not cover procedures that are not medically necessary, which typically includes all cosmetic procedures.

Patients that receive treatments by a physician not participating in their plan will be responsible for full payment at the time of service. For patients that qualify for “out of network” benefits we will either provide the necessary documentation for submitting an “out of network” claim or, if we have the ability to do so electronically, will submit such a claim on their behalf. Health insurance plans vary on their coverage of out of network treatments and may provide only partial reimbursement of our fees.

We do not participate in CareCredit or other healthcare financing programs.
We accept all major credit cards.
