How Much Does Mohs Surgery Cost?

The best way to address your question is by seeing a Mohs surgeon in consultation. The physician can better evaluate your condition and determine the complexity of the procedure as well as the reconstruction that might be needed.
No one knows how many stages of Mohs surgery you will need and the cost is proportional to the number of stages as each stage requires further laboratory analysis. The cost of the procedure also depends on the type of repair done on the defect once the cancer is removed.
Reconstruction can be a side-to-side closure or may require a skin graft or a skin flap. If a Mohs defect were allowed to heal with dressing changes, without surgery, the cost of the overall procedure would be less. With one stage of Mohs and some repair, the minimum average cost would be $1,000 or more.
Some procedures involve many stages and elaborate reconstruction but, as most Mohs surgery is done in an office setting, the cost is much less than if it were done in a hospital.

Thank you for your question. Mohs surgeries can range about $1000-$2,000. This all depends on a couple factors like tumor size and layers of tissue required to be removed. Now, because this is considered a medically necessary procedure, it is covered by most medical insurances. Best of luck!Dhaval M.
