Information for patients
APDerm at MIT Health is a service available exclusively to MIT Health patients. Individuals covered by any MIT-sponsored health insurance plan are eligible to be seen by APDerm at MIT Health for symptomatic, acute, and chronic skin conditions.
Overview
APDerm at MIT Health treats symptomatic, acute, and chronic skin conditions.
We provide medically necessary care for skin conditions that cannot be evaluated and treated by your primary care provider. We also offer cosmetic or elective dermatology consultations and procedures, including removal of benign lesions, cosmetic injectables, skin health education, and more.
You can use the MIT Health Laboratory for lab tests ordered by APDerm, but you cannot book those lab appointments online. Instead, bring your paper order from APDerm with you to the laboratory service front desk check-in area on the first floor. Once you have checked in, you will be seen as quickly as possible.
Please be aware that the charge for your APDerm visit will be the same as if you were seeing an off-campus, in-network doctor. If you are on the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), the full cost of the visit will apply until you fulfill your deductible, and you will owe a copayment for visits after your deductible is met. If you are an employee or an individual covered by a different insurance plan, check your policy to see how in-network specialty visits are charged.
