Teledermatology

While 85 million Americans are impacted by skin disease, only 1 in 3 patients will see a dermatologist. The Academy believes that teledermatology is a powerful tool for increasing patient access to needed dermatologic care.

The Academy advocates for innovative teledermatology policies and programs that increase access to care for everyone, especially in populations who need it most.

The Academy has issued teledermatology standards that expand upon the appropriate use of telemedicine, reimbursement policies, the physician-patient relationship, and more.

The Academy continues to advocate for telemedicine policies that put patients first and ensure fair reimbursement for physicians.
