Benefits of becoming a Referral Site

  • A Trustworthy Screening Team: CheckMySpot screeners are board-certified dermatologists in good standing and have years of experience in recognizing the appearance of benign lesions and skin cancers. You can be assured that each referral has presented features likely requiring a diagnostic procedure and/or treatment.

  • Improve patient access to qualified dermatology care

    • CheckMySpot’s priority is to refer patient users with a yellow or red Case Summary Report disposition to their existing dermatologist indicated on their initial record.

    • In the event a patient does not have a dermatologist on record, CheckMySpot will refer the patient to a referral site in the closest proximity to the patient’s residence.

    • CheckMySpot does not receive compensation in any form for referrals.

    • CheckMySpot will not refer patient users to a referral site location where The CheckMySpot provider that rendered the disposition on the Case Summary Report is employed. (No “self–referrals”)

  • Improve practice efficiency by:

    • Eliminating office visits for lesions that do not possess worrisome features for a skin cancer

    • Reduce wait time for patients that likely require diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures (eg- biopsies and excision/reconstructions)

  • Receive Precise Referral Information: Receive a detailed Case Summary Report for EVERY referred case that clearly illustrates the lesion appearance, location and disposition by the certified CheckMySpot provider.

  • Provide your existing patients a valuable screening service: CheckMySpot refers patient users to their existing dermatologist on record. You can provide your patients with a screening service at no overhead cost or liability to you.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to promote early detection of skin cancers by partnering advanced cell phone technology with highly qualified dermatology providers. CheckMySpot provides an accurate and convenient asynchronous teledermatology screening service that informs users whether a skin spot is benign at that point in time, or whether it appears worrisome and needs to be evaluated in person. If a clinic visit is warranted, our service facilitates an expedited referral to the user’s dermatologist or one nearby. The CheckMySpot website has a Resource page that will educate users on how to identify worrisome skin spots on themselves and others, and stresses the importance of monitoring changes in spots over time. CheckMySpot will not only empower patient users to be more aware of skin spots; it will also remove barriers to access of care by expediting referrals. All aspects of the CheckMySpot mission support our main goal: the early detection of skin cancer.

The CheckMySpot service is committed to full adherence to the standards of teledermatology set forth by the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Telemedicine Association. CheckMySpot fully supports the premise that there is no substitute for an “in person” clinic exam as well as the American Academy of Dermatology’s recommendation that all persons receive an annual “in person” complete skin exam. Accurate and expedited screening of skin lesions is our top priority because we recognize that early detection matters to improve patient outcomes and save lives.

    The CheckMySpot app is a helpful innovation in healthcare because it improves accessibility to dermatologists. The benefit is twofold: with a decrease in the number of patient visits for lesions that don’t require treatment, more appointments are available for people with serious skin lesions. Secondly, for patients with skin cancer, a recommendation for prompt evaluation aids in early detection. Following the easy instructions, I have submitted a photo of a mole that, thankfully, was classified as benign. The process was convenient and my family’s anxiety was quickly eased. I did not have to be unproductive or risk being exposed to infection while waiting in the doctor’s office. I plan to watch carefully for any new skin lesions on my family members and me in the future. I will not hesitate to use CheckMySpot again.

    I cannot recommend this service strongly enough! On two separate occasions, my family members had skin lesions that warranted attention. I quickly submitted photos and received prompt responses. One lesion ended up being benign, which relieved our worries. The other lesion, a basal cell carcinoma, required treatment. CheckMySpot quickly referred me to my dermatologist where I received the care I needed and the outcome was successful! I was very happy with this service and will use again.

  • Vanessa M.

    I was very pleased with the quick response to my inquiry with the CheckMySpot professionals. What a relief to find out that the new skin lesion I was worried about was benign. It was so convenient to use my phone from home to contact a doctor rather than spend a day away from work in an office. I highly recommend using this service!

  • Susan T.

    My experience with CheckMySpot has been great!!! As a full-time working wife and mother, I am constantly on-the-go and find it hard to schedule doctor’s appointments. It is so convenient to have the option of sending a picture of a concerning mole or lesion and receive a quick response as to whether I need an in person examination, or if my spot is nothing to worry about! Thank you for such a wonderful service - I plan on using it in the future for myself and my family.

    Although my mom received adequate care at her senior living facility, getting her to an off-site physician’s appointment took a lot of preparation and expense. When I noticed a new skin spot on her forehead, I was concerned about a cancer. Her caregiver told me about CheckMySpot. I used the service and heard within a day that the spot was worrisome for skin cancer. This made my decision to take time off work and arrange transportation to her dermatologist easier knowing an appointment was truly necessary. Just a minor procedure was required to fix the problem. I love this service. Highest recommendations!

    I am thrilled to learn that CheckMySpot will launch in early 2023. I am confident it will improve access to important dermatological screening services that are high quality and convenient. Quite a few years ago I noticed a very small spot on my left forearm. The spot was smaller than a pinhead and to my untrained eye looked no different than a freckle. I reached out to CheckMySpot and their provider asked me to use my smartphone to send a photo of the spot. Thank goodness I did! After reviewing the photo, the CheckMySpot team urged me to make an appointment with my local dermatologist. The spot turned out to be a small melanoma caught early and removed, thanks to CheckMySpot’s assessment of the photo I sent.

    In using “CheckMySpot,” the quick turn around and help from the dermatology provider was great. With our busy schedules, being able to take a picture and send it right over is so convenient. It is also very comforting to know that the professional staff takes great care in analyzing your “spot” and giving you guidance on what to do next. We will be using this again in the future!

    I am a father of two, soon to be three and frequently on the road with my work. My wife was very concerned about a spot on my back that I couldn’t see. It was 6 weeks before I could get in to my dermatologist. We used the CheckMySpot service and within a day or two we received the great news that this spot appeared ok. We just can’t take chances with our health. We were so relieved and pleased. This is such a great service for families like ours!
