MOHS MICROGRAPHIC SURGERY What is Mohs surgery? - A skin cancer removal technique that offers the highest cure rate. This technique allows the doctor to remove the least possible amount of healthy tissue while still removing all the cancer. - This technique is usually used for skin cancers which: o are located in areas where a greater amount of healthy tissue needs to be preserved (ie. eyes, nose, ears, hairline, hands, etc). o have a high risk for recurrence or have recurred with previous treatment. o have borders that are not well defined and/or have other skin cancers in close proximity. o are large in size. - A Mohs surgeon is specially trained in surgery, pathology, and reconstruction. What can I expect the day of surgery? - Please arrive 15 minutes early with completed paperwork, photo ID, and insurance/Medicare cards. - The area will be numbed with local anesthesia. The visible tumor will be removed along with a layer of the surrounding tissue. - The tissue will be processed in our lab which typically takes around one hour. You will wait in the waiting room during this time. - Once the tissue is ready, the doctor will examine the tissue under the microscope. - If cancer remains, another layer of tissue will be removed. This process will be repeated until the entire tumor is removed. The average number of tissue layers removed is 2 to 3. - When the tumor is completely removed, the doctor will discuss with you the best options for closing the wound. - Because it is unknown how many times the doctor will need to take tissue, it is impossible to predict how long your surgery will last. It may only take several hours, but be prepared to spend the entire day with us. - We request that you do NOT schedule any other appointments for the day of surgery. - Bring books, magazines, or another activity to help pass your time. We do have Wi-Fi available for your use. Is there food available? - We recommend you bring your lunch with you. We do have a refrigerator in which we can store cold items from your lunch. There are also vending machines available with beverages and limited snack items. - We do not have a coffee machine. If you want coffee, please bring it with you. Diabetics, continue to take your medication. Follow your regular meal schedule by bringing snacks and your lunch. **CONTINUED**

Should I bring a driver? - If the surgical site is anywhere near your eye, the final dressing may limit or occlude your vision. - If you are feeling very anxious, we can give a medication to help calm your nerves called Valium; however, in order to be given Valium a driver is required. - If you are unsure if you need a driver, it is always better to have one with you or have someone on standby if the need arises. Are there any medications that would affect my surgery? ** The morning of surgery, take all prescribed medications. Eat a regular breakfast and also bring any medications you will need to take throughout the day. ** - Unless otherwise instructed by your prescribing physician, continue taking all prescribed medications. This includes Plavix, Coumadin, Pradaxa, Aspirin, or any other similar blood thinners. - If you take over the counter non-prescription medications or herbals that thin the blood, such as: Ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, Vitamin E, Excedrin, Anacin, Bufferin, ginko biloba, ginseng, ginger, Fish Oil, and/or Aspirin not prescribed by a physician- stop these 7-10 days before surgery. Tylenol or Acetaminophen can be used during this time for pain. - Alcohol also thins the blood, if possible please discontinue 7-10 days prior to surgery. If you are on Oxygen- you are responsible to bring enough oxygen to last for the entire day. We do not have a supply of oxygen for patient use. Smoking will slow healing time and increase chance of complications- stop or greatly decrease the number of cigarettes smoked for 5 days before surgery and for 2 weeks after surgery. What can I expect after surgery? - You will leave with a large, bulky dressing called a pressure bandage. This will need to remain in place for 24 hours. - You should not participate in any strenuous activity for at least one week after surgery. This includes: working out, running, sports (even golf and yoga), heavy lifting, yard work and shoveling snow. By doing these activities, it is possible you may bleed under your stitches which leads to complications. If you have a question about an activity you have planned, please ask! - Flying in an airplane can complicate your recovery and we request at least 48 hours after surgery before airplane travel. - Expect bruising and/or swelling. The amount varies person to person and usually lasts for a week or longer. Activity level will greatly contribute to the amount of bruising and swelling. - We will discuss with you and also send home a detailed instruction sheet about the care of your surgical site. If you have any further questions, please call our office at 614-847-4100 ext. 122 or visit our website; www.centerforsurgicaldermatology.com. If in need of a hotel, we have been given reduced rates at nearby hotels. Please call our office for a list of these hotels or visit the website listed above. Q:/Forms/CSD/MMS handout 4-2014

CSD / ASC BILLING POLICY Dear Patient: We are committed to providing you with the best possible care. With health care policy constantly changing, we do not have the ability we once did to know if you are approved for your visit. We wish to help you receive your maximum allowable benefits. In order to achieve these goals, we need your assistance and your understanding of our financial policy. 1. Your insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company. We are not a party to that contract. 2. We are contracted with many insurance companies and if you have a question regarding whether or not we are an in network provider with your plan, please contact your insurance company. In order to be able to file your insurance claims, we must have a copy of your insurance cards as well as a picture I.D. We will submit to your primary and secondary insurances. If there is a change in your insurance plan coverage or if you receive a new or updated card, please notify us as soon as possible. Without this information, we may be unable to submit your claim to your insurance for payment. 3. Because our providers are specialists, some insurance companies require a referral from your primary care physician (referring physician). These can be faxed to us at 614-761-0849. If this is not done prior to your appointment, you will be asked to either reschedule your appointment and contact your PCP, or pay for the services at the time you are seen. Any payments made at the time of service will be promptly refunded upon receipt of payment by the insurance company. 4. CSD has 11 providers including 8 physicians and 3 nurse practitioners (NP). All of our NP's are board certified and have subspecialty training in dermatology. **NP billing: Please note that your bill following a visit with a NP may or may not show the name of that practitioner. More commonly it will show the name of one of our CSD physicians, and it may or may not be one you have seen before. Which provider gets listed is determined by your insurance company rules (third-party carrier or Medicare) and not by us. This is often a confusing point so please keep it in mind. 5. Your visit will generate up to three (3) separate bills. Depending on what surgery, if any, you need to have done, you will receive statements from the following: a. Center for Surgical Dermatology, Inc: This is the fee our practice, CSD, charges for performing the surgery. If you have any questions regarding this bill, feel free to call (614) 339-1360. b. The Center for Surgical Dermatology Ambulatory Surgery Center (CSD ASC): This is the fee for the use of the surgery facility which includes, for example, costs for your pre-operative and post-operative care, nursing care, the Operating Room Suite, nursing care while in surgery, medical equipment used, any supplies used in surgery such as sutures, ace bandages/wraps, etc., and the costs associated for the overall facility. CSD ASC bills by the procedures that are performed, NOT by the amount of time you are in surgery. If you have any questions about this bill, feel free to call (614) 339-1360. c. Pathology charges: We are required by the state of Ohio to explain to patients the method of billing, including charges for pathology services. If your provider performs a biopsy or excision, your specimen will be sent to a Board Certified Dermatopathologist (skin pathologist) for interpretation whenever possible. The Center for Surgical Dermatology/Dermatology Associates (CSD and its providers) maintain contracts with multiple pathology labs to insure the highest quality of patient care and also to accommodate as many of our patients’ insurance companies as possible. In most cases, preparation of the skin biopsy for the pathologist is done in the Center for Surgical Dermatology Pathology lab. You are billed for the preparation work from CSD ($90) and billed for the physician’s reading from the outside pathology lab. If the skin pathologist requires additional studies on your

CSD/ASC Billing Policy Page 2

tissue (special stains, immunochemistries) to help with making your diagnosis, those will appear on their bill whether to your insurance company or you. Occasionally the pathology work is subcontracted. The amount CSD is charged for this service ranges from $30.00 - $38.00. When CSD is able to bill your insurance directly or you directly instead of the pathology company doing the billing, we (CSD) can bill it for somewhat less than the approximate $110.00 - $170.00 the pathology company would normally charge for the service. Please note that this policy applies to only some insurances. d. Many insurance policies carry differing levels of coverage for in-network and out-of-network physicians. Again, you must clarify with your insurance that our physicians are an in network provider with your particular plan. It is also your responsibility to contact your insurance company prior to your procedure to clarify your own benefit levels, copays, deductibles, etc. as you are primarily responsible for the charges. 6. Certain payments are due at the time when services are rendered including copays, outstanding balances, cosmetic procedures or products. We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. 7. If you do not have insurance, please call the billing office as soon as possible. Billing representatives are available MondayFriday 7:30 am to 4:30 pm at 614-339-1360 to answer any questions related to the above or to set up a payment plan if necessary. We understand that temporary financial problems may affect timely payment of your balance. We encourage you to communicate such problems so that we can assist you in the management of your account. 8. Cancellation Policy: As a courtesy to our other patients, please call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule your appointments. We are pleased to have you as our patient. Your assistance as well as your patience with the above issues is appreciated as this will help make your overall visit with us go very smoothly. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office. I HAVE READ THE ABOVE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND INSURANCE STATEMENT AND I REALIZE THAT PAYMENT IS MY OBLIGATION FOR COVERED AND NON-COVERED SERVICES REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE OR THIRD PARTY INVOLVEMENT. I AUTHORIZE THE PHYSICIAN TO FURNISH MY INSURANCE COMPANY WITH ANY INFORMATION REQUIRED AND MY INSURANCE BENEFITS TO BE PAID TO THE PHYSICIAN. ____________________________________ Patient (Guarantor) Signature

AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER

Information Sheet about the Ambulatory Surgery Center What is an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)? It is a surgical facility where outpatient surgeries are performed. The patients do not require hospitalization. ASC’s are accredited and certified by both state and federal agencies to ensure the environment in them creates the safest possible surgical setting. Even though the Center for Surgical Dermatology ASC is located in the same building as our office practice, they are separate businesses as required by law. Most insurance companies including Medicare approve surgeries to be done in the ASC’s because:   

It is the best environment for their insured patients, which is most evident through the lowered rate of infections. It is less costly than Outpatient Hospital Surgery Centers The physician reimbursement is generally less if performed in the ASC rather than if done in a private office. However, this creates both physician charges and ASC facility charges.

Our billing staff checks, prior to surgery, with each patient’s insurance to clarify their eligibility for the ASC. Some insurance policies have deductibles for both the office visit and the ASC Surgery Center. Patients are responsible for both deductibles if that is the case. Almost all of the insurance companies we work with approve surgeries in our ASC but please check with your insurance to see what your coverage and/or deductible will be. Most but not all reconstructions are done in the Surgery Center. The type of reconstruction needing to be done and the individual insurance companies approval helps us decide if the surgery is appropriate for reconstruction in the ASC or if it is done in the office side of the practice.

The Center for Surgical Dermatology ASC complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. Q:Forms:CSD ASC:Forms to use:ASC information sheet

Advance Directives

Advance Directives are documents or documentation that you can complete prior to becoming ill allowing you to give direction about future medical care or to designate/choose another person(s) to make medical decisions if you can no longer do so.

In Ohio, living wills, durable power of attorney for health care (POA) and declaration for mental health treatment are recognized as valid Advance Directives. Also, federal law requires that all facilities that participate in Medicare/Medicaid must advise patients of their right to address treatment issues through Advance Directives.

The Center for Surgical Dermatology ASC (CSD ASC) performs elective, “low risk” procedures. It is very unlikely that our patients would have a medical emergency while being treated at our Center. In the event this were to occur, it would likely be something that was reversible. Therefore, we would take efforts to correct the problem and if necessary, you would be transported to the hospital. At the hospital, further treatments or the withdrawal of treatment measures will be exercised in accordance with your Advance Directive or POA. If you disagree with this policy, please address this issue with your physician prior to your scheduled procedure.

Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare (POA) is honored at our Center.

Should you wish to obtain State of Ohio Advance Directive forms, CSD ASC will provide you these forms upon request. They may also be obtained at http://www.midwestcarealliance.org/aws/LAO/asset_manager/get_file/116093/choices_6th_edition_lao_version. pdf Q:\forms\CSDASC\formstouse\advancedirectives 2016
