SLUCare Offers Free Skin Cancer Screenings
"In past years, 100 to 250 participants have taken part in the free skin cancer screenings. The free screenings offer a unique opportunity, since most insurance companies would not cover the cost of such screenings unless lesions or abnormalities are found."

Insurance Companies and Skin Cancer
"Since skin cancer does not usually return for several years following a failed treatment, it is clear that freezing, scraping and applying a cream will be high on the list of treatments an HMO doctor may use." "Your doctor's billing department can literally grind to a halt waiting for an insurance-company clerk with no medical education to decide whether a patient needed the biopsy or skin-cancer treatment given."
Paul J. Weber, M.D., P.A.
"Over the past few years I have learned to be very non-committal on the issue of medical insurance. In the case of skin cancer, it is far more likely... that insurance will 'cover' the procedure."
John Di Saia, MD
"Maximizing the detection and treatment of skin cancer along with quality of life issues while minimizing fears of uncertainty and loss of dignity can be especially difficult in situations where insurance coverage and resources are limited. Integrating treatment options, symptom management, access to psychosocial support systems, and overcoming reimbursement-related obstacles are ongoing roles of nursing and advanced practice care."
