Skin checks & skin cancer surgery

Palm Clinic is now an affiliated provider to Southern Cross Healthcare for annual skin checks, skin biopsies, liquid nitrogen and skin cancer surgery.

Under your Southern Cross Healthcare policy you are entitled to an annual skin check.  Any suspicious skin lesions are biopsied and any skin cancers are removed surgically.  Actinic keratosis ( a precursor to skin cancer ) is treated with liquid nitrogen and seborrhoeic keratoses which are causing irritation can also be treated.

Dr Martin Denby has recently joined Palm Clinic and he has a special interest in skin cancer with postgraduate certificates in dermoscopy and dermal imaging plus skin cancer surgery.

You do not need prior approval if you are a Southern Cross Healthcare client but you would need prior approval for other insurers.
