Dermatology
You’re running two businesses
under one roof.
Your PMS only supports one.
Medical dermatology, cosmetic procedures, and product sales all have different billing paths, different consent flows, and different follow-up sequences. Most PMS systems weren’t designed for that. We build the connective tissue between them.
The real problems you’re living
These are the specific pains we see in dermatology practices every week.
You’re running dual billing pathways — and it’s leaking money.
Medical dermatology bills to insurance. Cosmetic procedures are self-pay. Product sales are retail. Most practice management systems treat them all the same, and the result is missed charges, slow consultation follow-ups, and cosmetic packages that never convert.
Source: Blueprint Part 3.4Your cosmetic consultation-to-procedure conversion is stuck around 48%.
When a patient walks out of a cosmetic consult without booking, you have roughly 72 hours to bring them back before the intent fades. Most practices have no automated follow-up sequence — the revenue walks out with them.
Source: Blueprint Part 3.4Biologic prior auths are taking 3–7 days.
Psoriasis, eczema, and other biologic medications require prior authorization — and the manual process of gathering documentation, submitting to payers, and tracking status is taking a week or more. Patients wait. Adherence drops. Outcomes suffer.
Source: Blueprint Part 3.4; AMA prior auth dataYour scheduling system can’t tell a 10-minute skin check from a 60-minute cosmetic consultation.
Appointment types vary from 10-minute skin checks to 60-minute cosmetic consultations, each with different room and equipment requirements. Generic scheduling tools can’t handle this — so your front desk handles it manually, and the optimization never happens.
Source: Blueprint Part 3.4New patient wait times are 4–8 weeks. Every no-show is a lost month.
Dermatology has one of the longest new-patient wait times of any specialty. A 15% no-show rate combined with a 6-week queue means every missed appointment pushes real patients further down the line. Risk-scored reminders can recover most of that.
Source: Blueprint Part 3.4We built this because we saw you
We see what the dual business model actually looks like inside the practice.
You’re not running a clinic — you’re running a clinic and a cosmetic business under the same roof, and the workflows bleed into each other. The patient who came in for a skin check also wants to talk about fillers. The cosmetic consult needs a medical consent. The biologic patient needs ongoing lab review. We build the automation that handles both sides without forcing your team to context-switch.
What we automate for you
Six automations we deploy first for dermatology.
Ranked by hours recovered and dollars saved. Every one maps to a specific pain point category and integrates with your existing PMS.
Cosmetic consultation follow-up sequence
Before
Patient leaves consult; staff maybe calls in a week
After
Automated 72-hour follow-up with before/after photos, financing options, and booking link
Conversion 48% → 68%
Dual billing pathway management
Before
Front desk decides medical vs cosmetic at point of service, often gets it wrong
After
Appointment type determines billing path automatically; medical insurance and cosmetic invoicing handled by separate workflows
Dual-billing errors eliminated
Biologic prior auth automation
Before
3–7 day prior auth cycle with manual phone calls and portal navigation
After
AI detects biologic prescription, pulls clinical documentation, submits to payer, tracks status, drafts appeals
Biologic prior auth 5 days → 2 days
Appointment-type-aware scheduling
Before
Front desk manually matches procedure type to room, equipment, and provider
After
Intelligent scheduler assigns the right room and slot length based on appointment type
Provider utilization +15–20%
Skin check recall automation
Before
Staff manually tracks patients due for follow-up skin exams
After
Nightly scan identifies everyone overdue, sends personalized touch with booking link
Skin check recall lifted significantly
Photo consent and pathology import
Before
Clinical photos managed in a separate system, pathology reports faxed and retyped
After
Unified clinical photo index with auto-tagging; pathology reports imported and routed to patient notification automatically
Documentation time per biopsy cut 50%
Your impact model
Here’s the math on what changes after we deploy.
Annual impact: $80K–$200K recovered revenue and reduced overhead. Weekly time saved: 15–20 hours.
Why ANOXIS for dermatology
Four things that make us different — specifically for dermatology.
- ✓
We built the dual-billing-path logic specifically for dermatology — medical insurance and cosmetic self-pay don’t need to fight each other.
- ✓
We understand cosmetic consult-to-procedure conversion timing and build follow-up sequences that match it.
- ✓
We handle biologic prior auth specifically — not as a generic prior auth workflow.
- ✓
HIPAA-aware by default.
