AS accepts MedCost patients. In 08-08, AS was given the opportunity to sign a rider to its contract with MedCost whereby it would accept patients (un-insurable based on a medical condition and very often breast cancer patients) that were paying to be a part of NC's newly established high risk pool for the un-insurable (Inclusive Health). MedCost is the administrator of the Inclusive Health policy.
AS thought it out back in 08-08 and made the business decision to exclude the Inclusive Health MedCost insureds.
AS would get paid by MedCost. AS just did not want the cancer patients!
Doctors are only as good as their support staff.
If you have cancer or know someone with cancer then I encourage you to make a statement ---- find another dermatologist. Find someone who cares about cancer patients and who hires insurance and billing people with that same mind-set.
Pros: AVOID Asthetic Solutions bc there are other dermatologists
Cons: AVOID Asthetic Solutions bc they refused to treat cancer pts
