Asked by Anonymous - How Much Does Moh's Surgery Cost? : I just had this moh's surgery done (mine was just in front of my ear) and they had to make 2 attempts done on same day to complete it.  They charged me $1200  (this was in 2017). By the way I just listed all the steps they did to complete it in case you are wondering what all the step by step of moh's surgery procedure is: http://www.justtext.com/messageboards/health/20180126140809.html

Anonymous Says: By the way the charge they showed on the insurance bill when I checked this later showed around $2500 as the cost, but insurance adjusts the costs that they charge.

Anonymous Says: Its definitely worth it to get mohs surgery if on your face, because the scar (jaw line) its not really even visible anymore after a year.  At least on me it wasnt, and it was about a 3 or 4 inch scar to begin with.

Anonymous Says: I think they typically charge by how many layers they need to go down, as with mohs surgery they do it layer by layer and check it to see if its gone.

Anonymous Says: You will be surprised that the scar area they stitch shut is way longer then what you would expect, because they area they cut out for the basal cell was small. the doctor told me that before and said most people are surprised by that. It has to do with the way they stitch it shut from what he said and that 6 months to a year the scar will go away with moh's surgery even though you dont think that the first 3 weeks.  Also when you get stitches they told me to put vaseline on it to keep the skin area moist on stitched area as that helps with scarring.
