what is the cost to remove small basal cell carcinoma from forehead? The diagnosis was: 'Skin, mid upper forehead-nodular basal cell carcinoma, approximatly .3x.2x.1 cm extending into the dermis'. This was a biopsy of nodular neoplasm with peripheral palissading extends into dermis. My wife just wants to know what it will cost her. We have insurance but will pay with cash to keep insurance from going up. Thank you, Tim
