🤔 Is Biopsy of related skin growth, each additional growth Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT 11103 shows a 2.0x variation in pricing across states — moderate variation by Medicare standards.

Costs have decreased 7.6% since 2019. Medicare's fee schedule attempts to standardize pricing, though some variation is expected due to geographic cost-of-living adjustments and practice expense differences.

This analysis is based on publicly available CMS data and does not account for patient complexity, comorbidities, or facility-specific factors that may justify pricing differences.
