@blc1951 Good point. As of now, there is no applicable code that has been applied for this service, which can range in price (from about $150-$500 depending on the provider) and is currently considered I&E (investigational and experimental) and/or not medically necessary as there are other less costly methods of detection - although none that may detect quite as early especially for high-risk individuals who have a prior history of melanoma, skin cancer or atypical moles.

As @jc76 has reported, I also have a significant history of several skin cancers including melanoma and will be having another Moh's surgery for BCC in a few weeks so it is worth it to me to spend the additional money to have the screening. Fortunately, Mayo where I treat in Phoenix (actually the dermatology division at the Scottsdale campus) recently obtained the Vectra 3D imaging system so I hope to get this early next year.

@blc1951, how often do or will you get this screening?
