Associates in Dermatology in Clermont: A Guide to the State Road 50 Office

Associates in Dermatology’s Clermont office is at 1655 E. State Rd. 50, Suite 201, with appointments handled through the practice’s website and telephone number, (800) 827-7546. For readers comparing local practices, the useful details extend beyond that address: the group publishes separate resources for scheduling, first-visit forms, patient portals, insurance, and billing.

Finding the Clermont office

The official Clermont location page places the office on the second floor of the Schmid Building, in the southeast corner of the office center. Its directions identify an eastbound entrance between PNC Bank and Outback Steakhouse. For westbound travel, the practice directs visitors onto Oakley Seaver Drive and then into the first driveway on the left.

The page lists general dermatology, Mohs surgery, and cosmetic services, including Botox injections and fillers. It also names acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and nail infections among the conditions addressed. Confirm the particular service and appointment location when scheduling.

Services and the people behind the practice

The group’s clinical dermatology overview provides a broader practice-wide list covering skin, hair, and nail concerns. Published categories include hair loss, rosacea, melasma, moles, skin growths, and nail diseases. That list describes the group’s scope; it does not establish which clinician or procedure is available at Clermont on a particular day. Ask the scheduler which provider handles the reason for your visit and whether any later appointment would take place at a different office.

On its About page, Associates in Dermatology identifies Michael Steppie, MD, as president and medical director. The practice describes him as board-certified and reports residency training in internal medicine, dermatology, and dermatologic surgery, along with work in Mohs micrographic surgery. These are credentials published by the practice.

The same page describes a wider team that includes physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical aestheticians. The Clermont location page does not supply a named provider roster. Patients seeking a particular professional should therefore request that person by name and confirm who will conduct the appointment. Practice leadership and an individual office’s daily staffing are separate pieces of information.

Requesting an appointment

The appointment-request form asks for contact information, a preferred location, and whether the request concerns clinical or cosmetic dermatology. Clermont appears in the location menu. Other fields cover existing-patient status, a requested date and time, insurance, and a preferred callback period.

The practice says a representative will contact the requester during normal business hours to confirm the request. Treat the submitted preferences as a request until the office confirms the visit. The listed time choices do not establish that those appointments are available. When speaking with scheduling staff, confirm the clinician, the Clermont address, the appointment type, and any referral or authorization requirements associated with your exact plan.

First-visit paperwork and online access

The patient-forms page directs patients to complete and bring a health-history form to their first visit. It separately instructs new patients to complete an additional new-patient packet. Both links are labeled 2025 on the page reviewed for this article. Ask whether those posted versions are still the ones the office wants and whether any additional documents are required for your appointment.

For online tasks, the patient-portal page distinguishes two systems. Athena is listed for scheduling, viewing upcoming appointments, paying bills, and managing communication settings. EMA is listed for updating medical history, and the practice says an employee must set up that portal account.

New patients and people without portal credentials are directed to the appointment-request route. This distinction can save confusion: an Athena login does not, by itself, mean that the separate medical-history account has been activated. The page also notes that online scheduling may have restrictions; staff can clarify which route applies to a particular visit.

Checking insurance at the plan level

The practice’s insurance page lists Aetna commercial plans and Aetna Medicare PPO and HMO plans, Florida Blue/BCBS, Humana Medicare PPO, United Healthcare commercial and Medicaid plans, and United Healthcare Medicare PPO, among other entries. These are examples from its published list, not a determination of any individual patient’s benefits.

Location restrictions matter. The page specifically lists Wellcare PPO for all locations, while its Wellcare HMO entry names selected offices and does not include Clermont. CarePlus is listed for Davenport and some other locations, with a direction to call for details. Do not assume those restricted entries apply to this branch.

Confirm your exact plan, network, treating clinician, service, and Clermont location with both the practice and insurer. Also ask whether a referral or prior authorization is required and what patient charges may apply. A carrier name on a practice website does not confirm coverage for every product or procedure.

Payment and medical-record requests

The payment-options page lists Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. It does not provide a visit-price schedule in its published text. Before booking a self-pay or cosmetic appointment, ask for the consultation charge and how any separately scheduled service will be quoted. The portal page provides the practice’s published route for paying an existing bill online.

For records already held by the practice, the medical-records release page provides a downloadable authorization. Its instructions say a completed request can be faxed to (321) 206-5419, mailed to Associates in Dermatology, PO Box 690609, Orlando, FL 32869, or dropped off at an office. The page covers release to the patient or another healthcare provider. Confirm the appropriate delivery method and recipient before sending a completed authorization.

Details to confirm before the visit

• The clinician’s name, appointment type, and office location.
• The confirmed date, arrival time, and forms to bring.
• Your exact insurance plan’s participation and any authorization requirements.
• Consultation charges and the process for obtaining a service estimate.
