Does my doctor have to refer me to a dermatologist or can I seek one out myself?

I have a lot of acne and acne scars and want to see a dermatologist. Last time I went to my doctor she just prescribed me Benzaclin which didn't work for me at all. Do I have to go see her again or can I go straight to a dermatologist? Or do you recommend that I visit my doctor again and see what she prescribes for me this time?





Thank you very much.Does my doctor have to refer me to a dermatologist or can I seek one out myself?
It depends on your insurance. Some insurance providers require that your primary care doctor refer you to a specialist and other insurances allow you to go straight to a specialist. Find out first to prevent extra charges...Does my doctor have to refer me to a dermatologist or can I seek one out myself?
Nope! you can just go straight to one but i recommend doing research first. Find the best local dermatologist that your insurance covers. Ask around and see who got good results!
You can go straight to the derm. find out if your insurance covers it.
