About DermResources

DermResources is a dermatology/dermatologist consulting company that is national in scope and dermatology-specific.

Our mission is to assist dermatology practices in establishing and maintaining professional and business practices that result in higher patient satisfaction and overall practice efficiency.

If you are a dermatologist who has been operating a practice for a number of years, we can evaluate your day-to-day operations and make recommendations to enhance your practice. Or if you are just beginning to think about opening your own dermatology practice, we can help you establish a sound plan of action to achieve your goals and avoid the pitfalls along the way.

Our consultants have extensive dermatology practice management backgrounds and are ready to assist you. The benefit to you is that you receive the advise and assistance from consultants who have seen and worked in the dermatology field at a national level and who stay abreast of the latest changes affecting  the specialty.

Dermatology Practice Start Up

Our consultants work closely with you for the better part of a year to bring your practice to a successful opening and continuing operation.

The benefit to you is that you get to draw on our years of experience, having opened many practices, and avoid costly mistakes by  getting it right the first time. You will also feel secure knowing that your practice is compliance with current Coding, OSHA, HIPAA, CLIA, and Medicare Regulations.

Consultations

Our consultants will examine the day to day aspects of your practice and make suggestions to enhance your operations.  We strive to bring "fresh air" into your practice by suggesting ways that the work can be accomplished more easily and efficiently.

Coding

We can provide your practice or dermatology group with an in-depth dermatology specific coding presentation  to ensure that you are in compliance with Medicare and other carriers and that you are receiving correct reimbursements. Following our training you will be confident that you are coding properly and can knowledgeably defend yourself should your coding be questioned in an audit.

Lectures

We can provide your practice staff or dermatology group with a presentation on current dermatology practice management issues. Some sample topics are job descriptions, collection policies, managing your Accounts Receivable, and internal marketing of your cosmetic services.

The benefits to you are that you stay current with issues that affect your practice, and you can improve the operation and efficiency of your practice.

HIPAA Support

Our on-site HIPAA Privacy and Security compliance services assist you in meeting the compliance requirements of the HIPAA  regulations. We can conduct a gap analysis of  your practice and design your HIPAA compliance plan based on the results. We will then work with you and your practice manager to develop the policies and procedures needed to implement the Privacy and Security rule requirements within your practice, and can provide the needed training for your staff.

Free Newsletter

We offer a free, monthly newsletter with dermatology practice management tips to help your practice operate more efficiently.
