No, you will be seeing a Tia primary care provider (a Nurse Practitioner, Physician's Assistant, or Doctor) who has received specialized training in dermatology. They are equipped to handle many skin concerns. If your condition requires the care of a board-certified dermatologist, our team will provide a referral.
A yearly skin exam is a proactive way to protect your skin health. It’s particularly important if you have fair skin, a history of sunburns or tanning, many or changing moles, or a family history of skin cancer.
If you have a personal history of skin cancer, we recommend scheduling your ongoing skin checks with a dermatologist rather than with a Tia primary care provider.
You can use your insurance for this visit. However, some insurance plans may not cover an yearly skin exam as preventive care. This means you may need to pay a copay or other out-of-pocket costs. We recommend calling your insurance to confirm whether they cover a full-body skin exam as a preventive service.
Taking care of your skin is key to staying healthy and catching changes early. A yearly skin exam helps you check for moles, spots, or growths that may need attention. Your provider will examine your skin from head to toe, answer your questions, and help you understand what’s normal and what’s not, so you can feel confident about your skin’s health year-round.
