In adherence to the law, Alpine Dermatology, LLC is listing our “undiscounted price.” These prices are taken directly from our fee schedule as of the publication date and are also reported to the Alaska Department of Health & Social Services. These prices may be higher than the amount actually paid for the services received depending on the individual’s circumstance (ie. Insurance Coverage, In-Network Contracts, Medicaid Coverage, Self Pay Arrangements, etc.).

You are entitled, upon request, to receive a good-faith estimate of reasonably anticipated charges for a given nonemergency service(s) prior to receiving those services and no later than 10 days following the receipt of your request. This estimate does not include facility fees or other charges incurred outside of the service rendered by an Alpine Dermatology, LLC provider. This estimate will be provided in the form of your choosing – Orally, Written, or Electronic. Alpine Dermatology, LLC will always provide you with a good-faith estimate when/if a surgical procedure is proposed.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

For all other insurances, we are considered out-of-network and do not maintain contractual relationships that may reduce the price of our services, but our services are extended to everyone, regardless of their coverage.
