The Access Problem

Dermatology demand is rising. Access is not keeping up.

Nationally, patients wait an average of 37 days to see a dermatologist, delaying diagnoses, prolonging discomfort, and increasing downstream costs.

For health plans, this leads to:

  • Increased urgent care and PCP utilization
  • Delayed treatment and worsening conditions
  • Lower member satisfaction
  • Higher total cost of care

A Better Model for Dermatology Access

DermatologistOnCall delivers in hours, not weeks.

  • 7-hour average time to treat
  • 48-hour guaranteed response time
  • American Board of Dermatology-certified dermatologists licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia
  • Convenient, message-based care. No live video visit required*

Our message-based (asynchronous)model removes traditional bottlenecks, allowing members to receive expert dermatology care quickly, efficiently, and at scale.

*To comply with state regulations, patients receiving care in NM, RI, and WV must conduct a brief video call to establish a physician–patient relationship before online care begins.  This step is for compliance; no diagnosis or treatment takes place during the call.

Proven at Scale

Built for large member populations

DermatologistOnCall supports dermatology care delivery across large, nationally distributed member populations, including those connected to UnitedHealthcare and those established through strategic partnerships with MDLIVE and Amwell.

This embedded model allows health plans to:

  • Expand dermatology access without building new networks
  • Maintain a consistent member experience
  • Integrate seamlessly into existing digital health ecosystems.

Lowering Costs without Compromising Care

Lower costs. Better outcomes.

Traditional dermatology pathways often involve multiple steps, including PCP visits, referrals, long wait times, and, in some cases, unnecessary urgent care utilization.

DermatologistOnCall streamlines this pathway.

Research from the University of Pennsylvania (Jama Dermatology, 2026) demonstrates that asynchronous dermatology can significantly reduce the total cost of care by:

  • Eliminating unnecessary in-person visits
  • Reducing referral cycles
  • Accelerating appropriate treatment.

Typical DermatologistOnCall visit cost: ~$95.

A more efficient care pathway

Care Pathway Time to Treatment Typical Cost Member Experience Outcome
DermatologistOnCall ~ 7 hours ~$95 Fast, convenient, no travel Timely diagnosis + treatment plan
Traditional Dermatology ~ 37 days $$$ Long wait, in-person visit required Delayed care
PCP Visit Days - Weeks $$ Often results in referral to in-person dermatology Referral cycle begins
Urgent Care/ER Same Day $$$$ High cost and limited expertise often result in referral to in-person dermatology Suboptimal care, Referral cycle begins

DermatologistOnCall providers are credentialed in accordance with NCQA standards and have experience treating patients both in person and through teledermatology.
