Mole removals cost between $150 - 350 and is so easy to undergo
Most moles can be shaved off simply and quickly and painlessly under local anesthesia for about $150. If a mole needs to be excised and closed up then it runs about $350 to do it. Path run another $75.

The cost of mole removal
Every dermatologist has a slightly different charge for mole removal. The price is based upon the size, shape, location and complexity of the removal. For instance, a very small mole in an area that is not cosmetically sensitive can be removed simply and without sutures whereas a mole that is larger and deeper will require more work such as layered closure with sutures.
The last issue to consider with the cost of mole removal is the charge for pathology. All moles, no matter how benign...

Generally speaking the cost of a mole removal is based on the size of the mole and the difficulty of removing it. A shave removal of a mole generally costs $400 dollars for removal.

Mole Removal Pricing
Mole removal is usually covered under most insurance companies, especially if the mole looks suspicious. If you don't have insurance or if its only for cosmetic reasons you want the mole removed. The cost should always be affordable. $800 dollars is extremely over priced for one mole to be removed.

Cost for mole removal is variable
Like Dr. Hansen noted, if it can be removed with a simple shave biopsy the cost in Las Vegas is close to what he quoted, we charge $200.00 for the biopsy and $100.00 for the pathology. There are no office visit charges when just a biopsy is performed. As Dr. Hacker notes below, however, it depends on size, depth and sometimes location, but many nevi can be removed with a shave biopsy, as opposed to a punch or a surgical excision. I perform a lot of cosmetic biopsies on the...

Cost of mole removal
This is a question which cannot be answered with generalizations. Fees are dependent on the location, size and complexity of the wound closure. Shaving or tangential excision is not equivalent to formal excision with complex closure. Shaving should not be performed if there is any suspicion of malignant melanoma as it will make staging the depth of the cancer problematic. I send all specimens to the pathologist and there is an additional fee due to the pathologist. Most such surgeries are...

Cost of mole removal varies depending on method used
The cost of mole removal will vary depending on the method used (shave vs cutting out and suturing). The size and the location of the mole will also influence the price. However, there is also a charge for the mole to be examined by pathologist.
I advise to call your dermatologist and find out the estimate of the mole removal and how much the pathology will cost you.
If you have insurance it will most likely to cover both charges but depending on your policy it might be applied to...
