How Much Does a Single Lipoma Surgery approximately Cost?

How much would a good doctor charge to remove a single lipoma (approx. 2-4 cm diameter in size)? What type of insurance covers this?

Insurance coverage

Insurance should cover this. Especially a single isolated lipoma. The concern is a mass of unknown origin may or may not be a lipoma. History and physical exam may indicate that the lesion is probably a lipoma but biopsy is the only way to be sure. At my San Francisco area practice under local anesthesia the price would be much closer to $1500 depending on the location, depth and size of the mass. But again, typically this should be covered by insurance. I hope this helps.
