$123 out of pocket for a skin cancer checkup. $205 upfront, $82 rebate.

I mean, bang for buck I don't think a doctor needs to be doing the scanning, a tafe course would do. $400/ph to the clinic for scanning people seems a huge money maker.

GP or dermatologist? I was thinking I should start getting these done, due to not being very sun safe as a kid and teen.

Gotta look for a skin cancer checkup clinic that has the fancy camera and overpriced operator.
