Frequently Asked Questions
Anonymous photo review starts at $19.99 (ScanSkinAI, 48-hour turnaround). Most competitors sit between $30 and $85 per case.
Price depends on turnaround (8h vs 48h), whether a prescription is included, whether the clinician is licensed in your state or country, and whether the service links results to a long-lived account or keeps them anonymous.
Not for anonymous photo review — ScanSkinAI is pay-per-case. Some competitors bundle monthly subscriptions ($10–$25/month) that include one or two reviews plus unlimited AI checks.
Some private US insurance plans and Medicare cover teledermatology when it's routed through in-network providers. Anonymous consumer services are typically not routed through insurance — that's part of the anonymity model.
