Does Medicaid need a referral to see dermatologist?

Medicaid coverage varies from state to state, so the requirements for seeing a dermatologist may differ. However, in most cases, Medicaid does not require a referral to see a dermatologist. You can usually schedule an appointment directly with a dermatologist if you have Medicaid.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, some Medicaid plans may require a referral for certain types of dermatology services, such as cosmetic procedures. Additionally, some states may have different rules for Medicaid coverage of dermatology services for children and adults.

If you are unsure whether you need a referral to see a dermatologist with Medicaid, you should contact your Medicaid plan or state Medicaid office. They will be able to provide you with the specific requirements for your state and plan.
