How do i get to see a dermatologist?

Question

I need to see a dermoltologist for a suspect mole. Will my GP refer me or where can i see one priviatly? I live in Hertfordshire

Can anyone recommend where to find one?

Answer 1

Most insurance companies require that you see certain specialists or that your primary physician refer you or they will not cover the charges. Call your primary physician or health insurance and ask about these restrictions. Plus, they can refer you to a derm. that is near your area that accepts your medical insurance plan.

Answer 2

Any general practitioner or primary care physician should be able to make a determination in the case of this "suspect" mole. I suggest making the appointment with your GP for that purpose, and he/she will take it from there. If more specialized analysis/ treatment is warranted, I'm sure a referral will be made.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

Pretty much all specialists need a referral by a GP. Go to your GP and ask for one.

Hi, your GP will need to refer you. There are usually 'urgent' clinics where you can turn up with your referral letter when you have a suspicious mole.
