All three are medical charges you must pay out of your own pocket, even if you have insurance. Deductibles are a specific amount you must accumulate and pay each year of covered health services before benefits are provided by your carrier. Plans may also have separate individual and family deductibles and/or deductibles for separate services. Copayments are a set fee the member pays to providers at the time services are provided. Copays are applied to office visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, etc. Coinsurance is a form of cost sharing. After your deductible has been met, plan will begin paying a percentage of your bills. The remaining amount, known as co-insurance, is the portion due by the patient.

Mohs surgery has many benefits, and some even refer to it as the “best treatment for skin cancers.” This is because Mohs surgery is extremely effective in achieving total removal of cancerous skin tissue. Your doctor will remove each layer of tissue precisely from the exact location where the cancer originated. Once the tissue is removed, it is sent off to the lab to be tested. This process removes the guesswork of skin cancer removal and allows your doctor to remove all the cancerous tissue without leaving any behind. Another reason Mohs is recommended is partly due to its convenience. Because of the minimal tissue damage, most patients who receive Mohs surgery only need to schedule one appointment.
Everyone has a mole at least somewhere on their body—it is perfectly normal. However, there are several signs and symptoms you should look for to help you decide if your mole could be potentially dangerous. Here are a few signs that may warrant removal of the mole:
Facial volume loss is a condition that makes the skin lose fullness and elasticity. While it is normal, certain lifestyle choices can exacerbate the onset of facial volume loss.
