Attention Medicare Patients

Proposed Medicare payment changes for 2027 could affect how certain services are reimbursed when a medically necessary procedure is performed on the same day as an office visit.

In dermatology, this can be important. During a skin examination, your dermatologist may identify a suspicious lesion that needs a biopsy or another procedure. When medically appropriate, performing that procedure during the same visit can help avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.

We are concerned that the proposed changes could make same-day care more difficult and may result in additional appointments, travel, time away from work or family, and potentially additional patient costs.

At River Ridge Dermatology, our priority is timely access to medically necessary care. We believe patients and physicians should be able to make appropriate care decisions based on medical need.

Your voice matters. The American Academy of Dermatology is asking patients and physicians to contact Congress regarding these proposed changes.

IT IS HOT OUT THERE! ☀️🥵

The summer heat is hanging on in Lexington, and if you are spending time outside this weekend, remember to protect yourself from both the heat and the sun.

☀️ Use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30+
⏰ Reapply about every two hours and after swimming or sweating
👒 Seek shade and wear a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing when possible
💧 Stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat

Summer may be winding down, but sun protection should not. UV exposure adds up over time, even as we head into fall.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend, Kentucky. Stay cool, stay safe and take care of your skin.

SKIN HEALTH TUESDAY 🎒

Back to school. Back to routines. And sometimes, back to breakouts.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions we treat, and it can affect much more than your skin.

If over-the-counter products are not working, acne is painful, or breakouts are beginning to leave scars, it may be time to see a dermatology provider.

We can help develop a treatment plan based on your skin, your lifestyle and your goals.

Start the school year feeling confident in your skin.

📞 Call us today at (859) 203-6990 to schedule an appointment.
