What is an affiliated dermatologist?

An affiliated dermatologist is a dermatologist who is connected or associated with a specific healthcare network, hospital, clinic, or telehealth platform. Since they are working within the framework of a larger organization, this ensures patients have access to a range of resources, networks, and often more affordable or convenient care options.

What type of affiliations can dermatologists have?

• Hospital affiliation: The dermatologist works at a hospital or healthcare system.
• Clinic affiliation: The dermatologist is part of private medical practice. 
• Insurance network affiliation: The dermatologist is part of an insurance provider’s network.
• Telemedicine platform affiliation: The dermatologist is associated with a telehealth platform, such as Miiskin. 

Are Miiskin-affiliated dermatologists independent?

Yes, all dermatologists affiliated to Miiskin are independent and have their own private practice. Most of these dermatologists are also affiliated with hospitals or larger healthcare institutions. 

How much does it cost to have a consultation with an affiliate dermatologist?

Since Miskin-affiliated dermatologists are independent, they set up their own consultation fee, but first-time visits range between $59 to $79 and medication renewal visits are around $39.
