About Skin Biopsy

A skin biopsy involves removing a small sample of skin tissue for examination under a microscope. It is used to diagnose skin conditions including suspicious moles, rashes, infections, and skin cancers. Types include shave biopsy, punch biopsy, and excisional biopsy.

Understanding Your Bill

Skin biopsy billing includes the biopsy procedure and a separate pathology/lab fee for tissue analysis. Multiple biopsies at the same visit are each billed separately. The pathology interpretation is often the larger portion of the total cost.
