Why Westchester & Miami-Dade Families Are Choosing In-Home Dermatology

Most 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.

Who Qualifies for a Home Dermatology Visit in Miami

What an At-Home Dermatology Visit Actually Looks Like

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:

Equipment We Bring into Your Home

  • Polarized handheld dermatoscope for ABCDE mole and lesion analysis
  • Sterile shave and punch biopsy kits (1 to 8 mm) with hemostatic agents
  • Portable liquid-nitrogen cryotherapy for actinic keratoses and benign lesions
  • Wound-care supplies: alginates, foam, silver dressings, measurement guides for pressure-injury staging
  • Specimen transport for same-day pathology delivery (Quest / LabCorp Miami)
  • Sterile field, PPE, biohazard sharps containers, and N95s for infection-control compliance in ALFs
  • Bilingual consent forms (English & Spanish) printed on the spot

Conditions We Diagnose & Treat in the Home

  • Suspected skin cancer (basal cell, squamous cell, melanoma), visual exam, dermoscopy, and biopsy
  • Pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, and venous stasis dermatitis
  • Fungal intertrigo (under breasts, in skin folds, groin), common and undertreated in homebound elders
  • Shingles (herpes zoster) and post-herpetic neuralgia management
  • Severe eczema, contact dermatitis, and senile pruritus (the relentless itch many homebound patients live with)
  • Skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and irritating benign growths in catheter or oxygen-tubing zones
  • Adverse drug reactions and rash workups
  • Scabies and bedbug reaction evaluation

Insurance & Medicare for Home Visit Dermatology in Miami-Dade

This is the question no one else on Google's first page answers honestly. Here is the truth, plainly:

Medicare Part B Coverage (Place-of-Service Code 12)

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.

Commercial Plans We Routinely Bill

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.

Coverage Areas, ZIP Codes We Service

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.

ALF & Nursing Home Dermatology Rounds in Miami-Dade

Home Visit Dermatology FAQs, Miami & Westchester

Does Medicare cover a dermatologist house call in Miami?

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.

How is this different from telehealth dermatology?

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.

¿Hablan español los dermatólogos a domicilio?

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.

Can you remove a skin tag or do a biopsy at home?

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.

What if my loved one has dementia and refuses care?

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.

Do you charge a separate travel fee?

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.
