Frequently asked questions

How much does a mole check cost in Toronto?

Mole check costs in Toronto vary by clinic type. OHIP-covered dermatologist visits for suspicious lesions are free with a referral. Private mole mapping with FotoFinder technology ranges from $250 to $800. The Minor Surgery Center offers free initial consultations for skin lesion assessment with no referral required.

Do I need a referral for a mole check in Toronto?

For OHIP-covered dermatologist visits, a referral from your family doctor is typically required. However, several clinics including The Minor Surgery Center, private mole mapping clinics, and walk-in dermatology clinics accept patients without a referral.

What’s the difference between a mole check and mole mapping?

A mole check is a visual examination of moles by a doctor, sometimes with a dermatoscope. Mole mapping uses high-resolution photography (often with FotoFinder technology) to create a digital baseline of all your moles, allowing year-over-year comparison to detect changes.

How quickly can I get a mole removed in Toronto?

Wait times for mole removal vary significantly. Hospital-based and OHIP dermatology referrals can take 3-12 months. Rapid access clinics like The Minor Surgery Center typically see patients within days, with same-visit removal possible during your consultation.

Is mole mapping covered by OHIP?

No. Mole mapping is considered a preventive screening service and is not covered by OHIP. Many extended health insurance plans and Health Spending Accounts (HSA) cover 50–80% of the cost.

Who should consider mole mapping?

Mole mapping is recommended for people with more than 50 moles, a family or personal history of melanoma, fair skin that burns easily, or who are immunocompromised. If you’ve noticed any changes in an existing mole, you should also seek prompt assessment.
