Mole removal, face cost in California
In California, 116 hospitals publish a cash price for mole or benign skin lesion removal (excision), face, ears, eyelids, nose or lips, up to 0.5 cm: from $73.20 to $6,938.61, with a median of $1,476.80. The lowest price is at UCI Health-Orange (Orange). The highest price is 94.8× the lowest.
- The median here, $1,476.80, is 100% above the US median of $739.00.
- That is 2.0× Medicare's 2026 national rate for the same service ($723.47).
- California ranks 43rd of 44 states by median, cheapest first.
- 24 of 116 hospitals list a cash price equal to their full list price, with no self-pay discount.
California law (Health and Safety Code §127405): if you are uninsured or have high medical costs and your family income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, a hospital may not expect you to pay more than it would expect from Medicare or Medi-Cal, whichever is greater. That can be less than the cash prices below; ask the hospital for its discount payment policy. A separate physician fee may still apply. Other states' laws.

Hospital The hospital that published the price, its city and the line exactly as written in its price file.
Cash price The hospital's own price for a patient paying without insurance (“discounted cash” in its price file). Hospitals must publish it under federal law, 45 CFR 180.50. Call to confirm it before booking. More
List price The hospital's full chargemaster price (“gross charge”) before any discount. Almost nobody pays it; the gap to the cash price shows what the self-pay discount is worth. More
File date When the hospital last updated its price file, as the file says itself. A dash means the file gives no date.
At or below Medicare This cash price is at or below what Medicare pays a hospital for the same service, which is unusually low. It is what the hospital's file says; confirm it and what it includes before booking. More
No cash discount This line's cash price equals the hospital's full list price. Many hospitals still reduce bills for uninsured patients: ask the billing office for its self-pay discount in writing. More
