Does Medicare Cover Skin Cancer Screenings?

Medicare may cover medically necessary skin exams when a suspicious mole, spot, or lesion needs evaluation. Our dermatology team accepts Medicare and can examine your skin for signs of cancer or other skin concerns.

Why Skin Cancer Screening Matters

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. The good news is that it is highly treatable when found early. A professional skin exam helps identify suspicious spots before they become serious.

Many skin cancers develop slowly and may not cause pain or obvious symptoms at first. That is why routine skin checks by a dermatologist are important, especially for adults over 65.

A skin cancer screening can help:

Detect skin cancer in its earliest stages

Identify abnormal moles or changing skin spots

Evaluate growths that may require testing

Provide peace of mind about your skin health

If you notice a new spot, a mole that is changing, or a lesion that will not heal, it is important to schedule a skin exam as soon as possible.
