In the event of a life-threatening medical emergency, call emergency medical services at 911 immediately. DO NOT WAIT! Inform the emergency room staff that you are a patient of The Children’s Skin Center, and they will contact us.

If you have an urgent medical need and need to talk to a doctor after our regular hours, please call our office at (305) 669-6555. A doctor is on-call 24 hours a day. Your call will be returned promptly.

At Children’s Skin Center, we accept most major insurance plans with the exception of Medicare HMO plans and Amerigroup. Please contact your insurance company, or you may call our office at (305) 669-6555 to find out if we accept your plan.

If your insurance plan requires you to pay a co-payment, co-insurance, and/or a deductible, you will need to pay at the time of your visit. For your convenience we accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Care Credit.

If you have a question related to your bill or insurance, please contact our billing specialists at (305) 669-6555.

If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit. Please coordinate this with your primary care physician in advance. Appointments will be rescheduled if required referrals are not received in the office by the time of your visit.

CSC will accept an initial referral by fax, by phone, or by email from your provider, and we will obtain the needed signed prescription within days of your referral, or you may bring the signed referral form with you to our office.

Our doctors at The Children’s Skin Center are affiliated with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.

Prescriptions and refills for established patients of The Children’s Skin Center are routinely issued during our regular office hours (see above). You can make your request by calling our office at (305) 669-6555.

No refills are issued during the evenings, weekends, or holidays, as the doctors do not have access to medical records during those times. It is helpful to anticipate your refill needs to avoid an interruption in your medication therapy.
