Board-qualified, DNP-led mobile dermatology that comes to your front door, your loved one's assisted-living suite, or a post-surgical recovery room, anywhere in Miami-Dade where travel to a clinic is hard. Bilingual (English / Español), insurance-friendly, and usually scheduled within the same week.
Call (786) 738-9515 to Request a Home VisitMost dermatology practices in Miami still require every patient, including 92-year-old abuelas, post-Mohs surgery patients, wheelchair-bound veterans, and bedbound stroke survivors, to physically come into a clinic. For a meaningful slice of our Westchester (33144) and broader Miami-Dade community, that is either impossible or medically unsafe. Paradise Medical Center built our home visit dermatology program specifically to close that gap, with the same standard of care delivered at 8364 SW 8th St brought directly into the home, the ALF, or the skilled nursing facility.
Our mobile dermatology rounds are led by Dr. Teresa Moreno, DNP, a bilingual Doctor of Nursing Practice with deep training in medical, surgical, and geriatric dermatology. Because she personally conducts the visits, not a rotating tele-derm provider in another state, patients and adult-child caregivers get continuity, a real exam room rapport, and a chart they can call back about. Most of our home visit families say the same thing: this is the first time anyone has actually looked at their parent's skin in years.
This is where most other Miami "house-call" listings get vague. Here is exactly what we bring and what we do, so caregivers can prepare the room and set expectations:
This is the question no one else on Google's first page answers honestly. Here is the truth, plainly:
Medicare Part B covers physician and advanced-practice provider services delivered in the home when the patient meets the homebound criteria, leaving home requires considerable and taxing effort, and absences are infrequent, short, or for medical care. A dermatology house call is billed under place-of-service code 12 (home) using standard E/M codes (99341 to 99350) plus any procedure code (biopsy 11102, cryo 17000, etc.). Our office verifies homebound status before the visit so there are no billing surprises.
If you are unsure whether your plan covers an in-home dermatology consult, call us at (786) 738-9515 and we will check your benefits before scheduling. Self-pay options are available with transparent flat fees when insurance does not apply.
Our standard home-visit radius covers Westchester (33144), Coral Terrace (33155), Olympia Heights / Westwood Lakes (33165, 33184, 33194), Tamiami (33174, 33175), Sweetwater, West Miami, Flagami, and portions of Coral Gables (33134) and West Kendall. We frequently accommodate Doral, Fontainebleau, and broader Kendall on request.
If you operate or work with an Assisted Living Facility, Memory Care community, or Skilled Nursing Facility in Miami-Dade, Paradise Medical Center offers scheduled monthly or quarterly dermatology rounds. One visit, multiple residents, complete documentation back to your medical records system. We handle:
Activity directors and administrators: call (786) 738-9515 and ask for ALF/SNF rounding coordination.
Dial (786) 738-9515 or contact us bilingually (EN/ES). A live person, not a portal, answers within business hours.
We confirm address, homebound status if billing Medicare, and verify your insurance benefits before the visit. No surprise costs.
Most non-urgent visits are scheduled within 3 to 7 days. Same-day urgent visits available for active skin concerns.
Typical visits last 30 to 60 minutes. Biopsy results, treatment plans, and prescriptions are routed to your preferred Miami pharmacy and any home-health agency involved.
Yes, when the patient meets Medicare's homebound criteria. We bill under place-of-service code 12 and verify eligibility before scheduling so families know what to expect.
A camera cannot palpate a lesion, biopsy a mole, or stage a pressure injury. For lesion evaluation, biopsy, cryotherapy, wound care, or any tactile exam, in-person home visits are the appropriate standard of care. We use telehealth only for follow-up of results, not first-time skin lesion workups.
Sí. La Dra. Teresa Moreno y nuestro equipo son completamente bilingües. Atendemos a familias hispanohablantes en Westchester, La Pequeña Habana, Sweetwater y todo Miami-Dade en su idioma materno. Llame al (786) 738-9515.
Yes. We bring sterile biopsy kits, cryotherapy, and minor procedure supplies. Anything we do at the clinic at 8364 SW 8th St for routine in-office dermatology, we can perform at the bedside.
We are experienced with dementia, Alzheimer's, and sundowning behaviors. Visits are paced calmly, in the patient's familiar room, with a trusted family member or caregiver present. This is one of the strongest arguments for in-home dermatology rather than a chaotic clinic trip.
For insured patients within our standard ZIP-code radius, there is generally no separate travel fee, the home visit code includes it. For out-of-area or self-pay visits, we disclose any mileage fee in writing before scheduling.
If a clinic visit is hard or impossible, do not let your loved one's skin health slip. Call Paradise Medical Center Dermatology Clinic and schedule a bilingual home visit this week.
