I have Basal Cell Carcinona (BCC) in the face (upper maxilla ), and it was removed on November 22, 2008. However, the surgeon did an incomplete primary excision and the biopsy showed positive margins for BCC. I did some research, and the Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is a good option for the recurrent BCC. Since I don't have insurance coverage in the US, what is the average cost of MMS?

Answer: Cost of Mohs Micrographic Surgery
The cost of Mohs Micrographic Surgery depends on number of stages required to achieve clear margins in the surgical site where a basal cell carcinoma or a squamous cell carcinoma has been biopsied. In addition, there may be additional expense related to the reconstructive repair. If you do not have insurance, seek out a Mohs Micrographic Surgeon who is willing to minimize your financial jeopardy and give you a flat fee for the entire procedure from the beginning to the end.
