Dermatology Practice Automation

Dermatology runs two businesses inside one practice. The medical side is high-volume, insurance-driven, and increasingly dependent on biologics that require prior authorization. The cosmetic side behaves like retail, with deposits, packages, and no-show economics that the practice management system was not built for.

Automation has to respect both. We keep the workflows separate.

What breaks today

Biologic authorization is slow and manual

Specialty drug authorization involves clinical documentation, payer-specific forms, and follow-up that consumes a dedicated staff member.

Pathology results fall through

Specimens go out, results come back, and tracking which patient is waiting on which result is a manual log.

Cosmetic and medical share one schedule

Cosmetic no-shows cost far more than medical no-shows, but the reminder and deposit policy is identical.

Skin check recall is inconsistent

Annual full-body screening recall is high value clinically and commercially and depends on whoever remembers to run the report.

What we build

Scoped during the assessment, then delivered in one to three week increments against your real systems.

  1. Biologic authorization workflow

    Documentation assembly, payer submission, status polling, and renewal tracking specific to specialty pharmacy pathways.

  2. Pathology tracking to close

    Every specimen tracked from collection to result to patient notification, with escalation when a result is overdue.

  3. Service line separation

    Distinct scheduling, deposit, reminder, and cancellation policies for cosmetic versus medical encounters.

  4. Screening recall automation

    Annual skin check recall driven from the chart, with risk-based prioritization and multi-channel outreach.

  5. Cosmetic package and deposit handling

    Package balance tracking and deposit capture that feeds both the schedule and the ledger.

What changes

We measure your baseline during the assessment and set targets against it. We do not promise a figure before that number exists.

  • Biologic authorization turnaround reduced and renewals never missed
  • Zero pathology results lost between collection and patient notification
  • Cosmetic no-show cost reduced through deposit and reminder policy separation
  • Annual screening recall executed consistently across the panel

Common Questions

Can you handle the specialty pharmacy side of biologics?

We automate the practice-side workflow: documentation assembly, submission, status tracking, and renewal alerts. Coordination with the specialty pharmacy hub is integrated where the hub offers a channel to integrate with.
