Surgery

 

The starting fee for excision of a lesion is $400. This includes follow-up visits, dressings and removal of sutures ( if any).

This will increase if there is multiple lesions, or more suture material are needed for the procedure, or a more complex excision/ closure ( flap or graft) is needed.

Your doctor will clarify the fees when the procedure is explained.

 

For complicated procedures and for referrals from other medical centres, an initial consultation is required to view the lesion and plan/discuss options and surgery. This appointment is charged the same as a normal consultation.

If you have financial difficulties, your doctor may be able to access a subsidy from the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) for the removal  of proven skin cancer.

 

Punch Biospy     $150 . This may be done by a trained nurse under directions from your doctor.
