Is $1850 approx for Mohs surgery which includes 2 stages and a close, a reasonable price?

Considering the amount of time that your Dermatologist will spend removing your tumor and repairing the wound this seems like a very reasonable out of pocket price. If you have any doubts definitely seek a second opinion. We are seeing many more patients (even those with insurance) negotiating cash prices for procedures that have traditionally been covered by insurance. Your best bet is to gather as many quotes as you feel you need before moving forward. It sounds like you've found a qualified Dermatologist at a very reasonable cost. Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

When I have a Mohs patient who pays cash, I usually estimate between $1500-$2500 depending on the location, size, and approximate number of layers I think I will need to do. Mohs can be hard to estimate simply because as doctors what we are trying to do is minimize the amount of tissue removed, and preserve as much as possible for cosmetic results. This means we sometimes end up chasing a root of cancer that we didn't know was there underneath, and so it's hard to tell a patient that there were so many more levels needed than expected. Mohs is hard to estimate for this reason. With that being said, I think your price is reasonable and I'm glad you are going to a Mohs board-certified physician. If you are worried about costs, you could look into funding through CareCredit, assuming your physician takes it. It allows patients to receive medial care and can allow for up to 3 years of no-interest financing. It's good for people who will have big expenditures but don't want to tie up credit cards. You can apply online or over the phone, and it's very simple. But again, make sure your physician takes it! "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
