At Knox General Practice, our goal is to ensure early detection and effective management of skin cancer while maintaining affordability and transparency.
Your Skin Cancer Care Pathway
Step 1: Skin Cancer Check – Bulk Billed
- Comprehensive full-body skin check performed by a qualified doctor.
- This consultation is bulk bulled for all eligible Medicare card holders.
- If a suspicious lesion is identified, the doctor will recommend a biopsy and explain the next steps.
Note: If a biopsy is recommended, you can choose to have it done immediately during this visit for $100 out-of-pocket, or return for the procedure at another time.
If the biopsy is performed during the first visit, your next appointment will be either a results review or an excision, depending on the outcome.
Step 2: Biopsy Appointment – $100 Out-of-Pocket
- If not completed during your first visit, a punch biopsy will be performed to sample the lesion.
- This includes the use of local anaesthetic, sterile consumables, and wound care materials.
- The sample will be sent to pathology, with results available within 1-2 weeks.
Visit 3: Results Review or Excision
Option A: Results Review – $40 Out-of-Pocket
- Review of pathology results.
- Discussion of any further management, such as monitoring or specialist referral.
Option B: Excision Procedure – $150 Out-of-Pocket
- If a lesion requires removal, the doctor will perform a minor surgical excision.
- This includes the procedure, all consumables, and aftercare.
Important Note: All fees will be clearly explained to you before any procedure. There are no hidden costs. Our team will ensure you have the information you need to make the best decisions for your health.
