Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

Mohs surgery removes skin cancer in thin layers, checking each under a microscope during the procedure until the margins are clear. It is used for the face and other sensitive areas.

What the price covers

The price covers the first stage, including the surgeon's lab exam of the tissue. Additional stages and the wound repair are billed separately.
