What is Skin Biopsy?
A skin biopsy removes a small sample of skin tissue for microscopic examination to diagnose conditions including skin cancer, infections, and inflammatory diseases. It is performed in the office under local anesthesia using punch, shave, or excisional techniques. Results are typically available within 7 to 10 days.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for skin biopsy is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy. Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) from your regional Medicare Administrative Contractor may have additional requirements.
