-
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed for aesthetic consultation. A referral may be required for medically necessary procedures, depending on your insurance plan.
-
Do you bill insurance?
Yes. Medically necessary procedures are typically covered by insurance and will be billed accordingly. Cosmetic or elective treatments require payment at the time of service. Our staff can help you confirm coverage before your visit.
-
What is the difference between aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery?
Aesthetic (cosmetic) plastic surgery, such as facelifts, rhinoplasty, or body contouring, enhances a patient’s appearance to align with their goals and improve confidence. Reconstructive surgery, such as breast reconstruction or scar revision, restores form and function after trauma, cancer treatment, or congenital conditions. At Renew, we provide both, tailoring care to each patient’s unique needs.
-
What dermatology care do you provide?
Our dermatology team provides comprehensive skin care for adults and children, including preventive exams, skin cancer screenings, and treatment for acne, eczema, moles, psoriasis, hair loss, nail fungus, and more. We also perform biopsies, cryotherapy, minor surgery, and phototherapy. Led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jenna Aird, we offer expert, evidence-based care for all skin types and conditions.
-
What should I expect during my initial consultation?
You’ll meet with Dr. Wisecarver or Dr. Aird to discuss your goals and concerns, review medical history, and explore treatment options, including preparation, recovery, and next steps.
-
Where do procedures take place?
Consultations and minor procedures occur at Renew’s Homer clinic, 205 W. Fairview Avenue. Major surgeries are performed at South Peninsula Hospital’s outpatient surgery department, located at 4300 Bartlett Street, in collaboration with the hospital’s surgical team.
-
Do you accept insurance?
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, Tri-Care, BlueCross, and Denali Kid Care, among others. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify coverage and pre-authorization requirements. Payment plans and prompt-payment discounts are available.
-
I’m coming in from out of town, do you have any local resources?
Renew has a special discount arranged for our patients at the Aspen Hotel, and the Homer Chamber of Commerce website has a complete list of lodging and resources.
