Patients can be referred to CheckMark by a family physician or nurse practitioner. Referrals are intended for focused assessment of 1–2 specific skin lesions of concern.

CheckMark is designed for focused skin spot assessment using teledermoscopy. It is appropriate for patients with 1–2 specific lesions that require dermatology review. Any additional lesions will require a separate referral.

CheckMark is not intended for full-body skin exams, rashes, acne, lesions in intimate or covered areas, patients under 18, or patients with more than two lesions requiring assessment.

Once a referral is received, the patient can attend a participating pharmacy or clinic location for image capture. Standardized clinical and dermoscopic images are submitted securely to CheckMark for dermatologist review.

Images are reviewed by a licensed dermatologist. Pharmacy and clinic staff do not diagnose, interpret lesions, or provide clinical recommendations.

The referring provider receives a dermatologist report with the assessment and recommended next steps. This may include reassurance, monitoring, an in-person dermatology visit, biopsy, excision, or another appropriate follow-up pathway.
