Surgery

 

The starting fee for excision of a lesion is $230. 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     From $85 . This may be done by a trained nurse under directions from your doctor.

 

 

Aclasta Infusion : A planning consultation and blood tests (if required) need to be done with your doctor at least one week before the infusion.  This will be charged as a normal consultation.

 The infusion takes about 30 minutes with the nurse and is charged at $110

 

Notes :

Appointments are 15 minute slots, so please book a double appointment if you have a number of issues to discuss on the same day. Double appointments will charged a double fee. Payment is to be made on the day of your appointment unless prior arrangement has been made. Fees not paid on the day incur a $10 administration fee at the end of the month.
