Though I am not at liberty to discuss my charges for certain procedures, I can tell you that for a typical Mohs case with 2 layers on the face with a relatively simple closure of the wound, Medicare charges approximately $1,500.
Most dermatologists charge rates that are comparable to Medicare or may charge you a flat rate for the entire procedure. That being said, the range is considerable and without evaluating you, there would be no way to give you an accurate estimate. The charges are usually based on the number of stages required to remove the entire tumor, and the complexity of the closure of the resulting defect. A small to medium-sized defect of the maxilla likely would not require a fancy flap or graft closure.
I agree with you that Mohs micrographic surgery is by far the best approach to a recurrent basal cell on the face. Good luck.
