About Your Virtual Visit
The virtual visit will be conducted by using either FaceTime or doxy.me
If using FaceTime, your doctor will call you via FaceTime, which is a free app on all iPhones, iPads, and iOS operating systems. If you do not have an Apple device with FaceTime, please let us know.
Doxy.me is a HIPAA compliant, secure telemedicine website. You must have access to high-speed internet and a compatible browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). Acceptable devices include a desktop or laptop computer with a camera and microphone, a smart phone, or a tablet. The doctor will also have a live camera during the visit.
For more information and an instructional video you can visit: doxy.me. Access your doxy.me appointment with this link for your doctor on your smartphone or computer

You may enter the doxy.me chat room 10-15 min before your scheduled appointment time to make sure your device and browser are compatible. Please have a flashlight available if needed for better visibility. There may possibly be a short wait, so remain in the waiting room until your visit is accepted by your dermatologist. If you experience technical difficulties during your visit, please be patient; we will do our best to get this corrected as soon as possible.
Policies
Understanding our commitment to you and your financial responsibility to us is an essential component to establishing and maintaining a strong patient/practice relationship. In order to achieve this, we offer the following information regarding our office policies – click here
Financial Policy
Thank you for choosing us as your dermatologists. We are committed to providing quality medical care. Please understand that payment of your bill is considered part of your care plan. It is the patient’s responsibility to supply all current insurance cards, identification, and maintain a current credit card on file. Medicare/CMS has committed to covering telemedicine. Unfortunately, many commercial insurance carriers have not aligned with CMS. If you have commercial insurance, it is your responsibility, as the patient or guardian, to verify with your insurance plan if teledermatology by our office is a covered service prior to the appointment. If you have commercial insurance, prior to your teledermatology visit, we will collect your copayment and a $75 fee. As a courtesy to our patients, we will submit all claims to your primary and secondary insurance carriers in a timely manner. If your insurance carrier does cover the service, you will be reimbursed for any difference owed. Insurance plans vary considerably, and we cannot predict or guarantee what part of our services will or will not be covered by your plan. Patients are responsible for knowing the details/rules of their health plan(s), as we cannot change our coding to obtain payment. Telemed visits are subject to copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Dr. George and Dr. Moritz look forward to seeing you.
Thank you,
George Dermatology
