Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 11102 — Tangential biopsy of skin, single lesion). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.
Why Skin Biopsy Visit Costs Vary Across New Hampshire
Healthcare costs in New Hampshire run roughly 11% above national averages, driven by the state's small size, limited provider competition, and concentration of specialists in the Manchester-Nashua corridor. Rural communities often face higher per-visit costs due to lower patient volumes and increased overhead expenses for maintaining practices in less populated areas.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Most dermatology specialists concentrate in southern New Hampshire's Seacoast and Merrimack Valley regions, leaving North Country residents traveling significant distances for care. This geographic maldistribution creates cost pressures as rural patients may face both higher travel expenses and premium pricing from specialists serving large catchment areas with limited competition.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-affiliated dermatology clinics like those connected to Dartmouth-Hitchcock or Catholic Medical Center typically charge higher facility fees than independent practices throughout New Hampshire. These health system partnerships often result in additional charges for pathology services and follow-up care that independent dermatologists might bundle into their visit fees.
Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire
Anthem dominates New Hampshire's individual and employer markets alongside Harvard Pilgrim and Cigna, creating limited negotiating pressure that keeps provider rates elevated compared to more competitive states. This concentrated insurer landscape allows providers to maintain higher contracted rates, ultimately reflected in patient copays and out-of-pocket maximums.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire
With over 3,600 providers performing skin biopsies across the state, New Hampshire maintains reasonable access relative to its population size, though specialist concentration in urban areas creates appointment bottlenecks. The adequate provider supply helps moderate pricing compared to shortage areas, though geographic imbalances still drive cost variations between regions.
