What a New Jersey video consultation covers
New Jersey patients can see Dr. Shaikh by video without commuting into New York or Philadelphia for a dermatology appointment.
Visits are booked and paid for before the appointment, so there is no billing surprise afterwards and no insurance authorization step.
This state observes Eastern Time, and appointment times are shown in the time zone you select when you book.
- If you commute between New Jersey and New York, eligibility follows where you will physically be during the appointment.
- Prescriptions are sent electronically to the New Jersey pharmacy you choose during the visit.
Who can book from New Jersey
- You will be physically located in New Jersey during the video appointment. Eligibility follows your location that day, not your mailing address.
- You are 18 or older.
- You are paying directly for the visit. This practice does not bill insurance, and Medicare or Medicare Advantage patients cannot book online — contact the practice instead.
- Follow-up visits are for patients Dr. Shaikh has already seen.
If you will be located outside the states where care is currently offered, the visit cannot be scheduled and no payment is taken.
