Skin checks in Bella Vista (or anywhere in Australia, for that matter) performed by a GP may be covered, if not fully - in part, by Medicare. While a GP can examine moles or spots of concern, depending on their experience and training, they may refer you to a dermatologist for diagnosis. Providing you have a referral, Medicare may cover some of the costs of your dermatologist appointment.
The benefit of visiting MoleMap Bella Vista skin cancer clinic is that your skin is checked by a melanographer who’s specially trained in skin cancer detection. Plus, if a suspicious mole is found it is imaged and sent electronically for dermatologist diagnosis. All in one appointment. No referral needed. You may also be able to claim part or all of the cost of your MoleMap skin check on your private health insurance. Check with your policy holder before booking your treatment.

It’s possible to have melanoma for months or years without knowing. Some types of melanoma, like superficial spreading melanoma, grow slowly. Getting melanoma in a hard-to-see place, like on the scalp or the sole of the foot, can also delay diagnosis. The best way to catch melanoma and other skin cancers early is with regular skin check.

Before attending your appointment at MoleMap skin cancer clinic Bella Vista, we recommend doing an at-home skin assessment and noting any spots of concern.
Our melanographer (a health professional trained in the early detection of skin cancer) will check these out as part of a thorough skin examination. We recommend wearing clothing that can easily be removed. It’s best to be make-up free and to avoid using self-tan or nail polish prior to your mole check.
Here at MoleMap's Bella Vista skin cancer clinic, we recommend regular at-home skin checks (ideally every 3 months) and an annual professional skin check. Don’t forget, melanoma and non melanoma skin cancers can look different from one person to the next. If you spot a potential cancerous mole, get it checked out quickly.The good thing is that most skin cancers can be successfully treated when found early.
Both of these services include a comprehensive skin check by a melanographer. Suspicious moles or skin lesions are digitally imaged and sent electronically for dermatologist diagnosis. The difference is that our Full Body MoleMap includes total body photography and additional dermoscopic imaging of moles that may be at risk of change — even if they appear benign currently. This provides a baseline record of your skin to track, compare and monitor any changes over time.
Australia’s most common skin cancers include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinomas are the most common and tend to grow slowly. Squamous cell carcinomas are the second most common cancer and can spread to nearby lymph nodes if left untreated. Melanoma, the third most common cancer, is considered the most dangerous type of skin cancer due to its potential to spread quickly. Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment.
The best way to prevent skin cancer is by protecting your skin from harmful UV exposure and staying proactive with regular checks. This includes:
At a skin cancer clinic, dedicated healthcare professionals can assess your personal risk, provide prevention advice tailored to your skin type and lifestyle. Prevention is the first line of defence, and when combined with early detection, it leads to the best possible outcome.
