Why Choosing Apollo Dermatology Saves You Money: Avoid Facility Fees
At Apollo Dermatology, we prioritize providing high-quality care at a reasonable cost. One of the most significant advantages of seeking treatment at a private practice like ours is the ability to avoid the facility fees charged by many academic centers and large hospitals.
What Are Facility Fees?
Facility fees are extra charges that hospitals and academic centers tack onto your bill simply because you’re being treated at their institution. These fees have nothing to do with the actual medical care or the expertise of your doctor. Instead, they are used to cover the overhead costs of maintaining the hospital infrastructure. While the facility fee may seem like a small line item on your bill, it can add hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars to the cost of your treatment.
How Facility Fees Affect Your Out-of-Pocket Costs
For patients with high-deductible insurance plans, this can be especially problematic. Facility fees are sometimes not covered by insurance, meaning they come directly out of your pocket (especially if you have a high deductible). And if you need a medical procedure, those costs can skyrocket, as you’re paying both for the doctor’s expertise and the facility you’re treated in.
At Apollo Dermatology, we don’t charge facility fees. You pay for the care and expertise of our dermatologists—nothing more. This means:
- Lower overall costs: With no extra fees, your bill is more manageable, especially if you have a high deductible.
- Affordable medical procedures: Whether it’s a minor treatment or a more complex procedure, you’ll save significantly by avoiding the hefty facility fees charged by academic centers.
Why Private Practice Is the Smarter Choice
Academic centers often provide excellent care, but for routine dermatological treatments or procedures, they are typically more expensive due to these added fees. Private practices like Apollo Dermatology offer personalized, high-quality care without the extra cost burden.
Choosing Apollo Dermatology means choosing the same level of medical expertise without the hidden charges that can make your care unnecessarily expensive.

If you’re looking for expert dermatology services without the financial strain of facility fees, Apollo Dermatology is the right choice for you. Especially if you have a high-deductible insurance plan or require any medical procedures, avoiding those extra costs can make a significant difference.
