Mays Dermatology is a Direct Care Micro-Practice providing exceptional Dermatologic care with expertise and accuracy.
In today’s world, a practice that “takes insurance” simply means they bill your insurance and abide by their stifling regulations and rules in providing your care. Most patients spend an average of 300-400 on an insurance model dermatology visit due to high deductible plans. In addition, insurance practices are often overwhelmed with third-party regulations which lead to shorter visits, limitations on issues addressed per visit , and delegation to mid-level providers. Quality of care suffers, and the cost remains the same or often higher in an insurance model. In addition, insurance can limit “allowed” procedures per visit requiring unnecessary follow-ups, medications your doctor wants for you to use, denial of certain procedures, unnecessary prior authorizations and so much more.With direct care, the bureaucracy, costs, and limitations placed by third party insurers is eliminated, creating expert care by the specialized physician directly for the benefit of the patient.
A direct care model is simple. By eliminating the third-party middleman, the physician is allowed to provide true quality care to patients directly and spend the duration of their visit focused on their care, as opposed to unnecessary insurance paperwork. Direct practices operate much the same way as your favorite restaurant: you step in, order, and get your favorite food. No hidden fees, no surprise bills or denials and no variable costs due to high deductibles. Direct care models ultimately result in decreased overall costs to the patient by eliminating third-parties benefiting from the medical care.
No Membership Fee: There is no membership fee. However, we do offer a separate concierge model with direct 24-7 access to the Dermatologist for those interested in more intimate care.
At Mays Dermatology, Dr. Mays aims to restore the traditional practice of medicine when medical decisions were made between doctor and patients- not dictated by third parties. This type of practice model allows exclusive expert care by a Double Board Certified Dermatologist uniquely directed to each patient, lengthy visits with your physician, same day access and fit-ins, non-delegation of procedures, less time waiting for your appointment, less useless paperwork, and no limit to the quality of Dermatologic care.
Every visit is with the Dr Mays, the Double Board Certified Dermatologist. Appointment times are protected, on-time, and extensive. You will be able to address all your concerns with the Dermatologist and feel unrushed. If additional procedures are needed or desired, they can often be performed the same day.
Payment is due in full for your visit at time of your appointment. Additional procedure(s) performed during your visit will incur separate fees and due in full at time of service. Pricing will be discussed with you if you need additional procedures. Upon request a superbill/itemized receipt can be provided for submission to your insurance company .
If ordered: Pathology, Laboratory, and Prescriptions will not be affected and you may use your insurance for all these services at the corresponding facility.

It is often hard to see a Board Certified Dermatologist (compared to mid-level providers) for your Dermatologic concern. We offer same day fit ins and all visits & procedures are performed by our Board Certified Dermatologist.
We dispense generic RX medications in-office. This saves you a trip to your pharmacy and allows for better compliance. Additionally, we offer customized, compounded prescription options that are typically better and higher efficacy than any generic, over the counter, or branded medications available on the market.
We offer exclusive appointment duration and pricing transparency for all medical visits and procedures. Because we cut out third party middle-man, there are no denials, high deductibles, or limits on your visits & procedures.
Most patients do not realize that only a Board Certified Dermatologist serves as the true physician expert in all conditions of skin, hair, and nails. We believe access to a BCD should be for everyone. By eliminating third parties, Mays Dermatology is able to allow access to expert care at affordable pricing.
We have deeply discounted bloodwork fees available for any patients who desire this as an option. You may choose to use your insurance if doing so is cheaper for you. Self-pay, uninsured, and those with high-deductible health insurance plans may benefit most from this service.
To allow for more face-to-face time with the doctor during your appointment, Dr. Rana Mays limits the number of visits daily to around 15 patients, where most dermatologists see upwards of 60 patients a day.
Upon request, receipts are provided to patients to submit for reimbursement (as allowed by some private insurance companies).
You may schedule appointments online at YOUR convenience, for as much or as little face-to-face time that fits YOUR needs or desires. Our established patients have access to our HIPPA compliant Spruce Health App which allows you to SMS text OR securely message us 24/7. We are here to help answer any health related questions you may have and to coordinate scheduling an appointment at your convenience.
What you pay at the time of your office visit is the only fee that you owe. These fees are clearly posted under “Pricing” for complete transparency. You will not receive a surprise bill in the mail after your office visit.
