What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
If you're looking at skin biopsy pricing in Fairfax, here's what matters: the cash price you'll actually pay ranges from $75 to $519, depending on which facility you choose — that's nearly a sevenfold difference for the same procedure. Most providers cluster around $410, so if you find someone quoting $75 or even $200, you're looking at real savings. Before you settle on a location based on your doctor's referral, it's worth a quick call to confirm pricing, especially if cost is a concern or you're uninsured.
Call the billing department at whichever facility your dermatologist uses and ask for the cash price for a tangential skin biopsy — get it in writing. If that quote feels high, ask the other one or two practices in your area what they charge; you may find a significant difference. Some facilities also offer financial assistance for self-pay patients, so ask whether you qualify before committing.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Skin Biopsy Tangential?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
