How long is a skin exam? An exam can be brief if you’ve never had moles or skin problems. Anticipate a 10 – 15 minute exam, though times vary depending on findings or previous problems that need to be re-examined.
How often should I get an exam? We recommend an annual exam with a provider as part of a complete skin health plan. This should be in addition to regular self-examinations. Always contact your primary care physician or dermatologist if you suspect a skin disease or condition.
Does insurance cover skin exams? Typically, yes. While most insurance does cover skin exams, we always recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your benefits.
