Is it normal for hospital owned clinics to charge twice for each service?

I got an estimate for a mole biopsy from my provider. This is what they gave me:

Facility Charges

HCPCS G0463 – Hb-clinic Visit $200.00

CPT 11102 – Hb-tangntl Bx Skin Single Les $277.00

CPT 88305 – Hb-gross & Micro Level Iv $375.00

Professional Charges

CPT 99213 – OFFICE VISIT, EST PATIENT, LEVEL 3 $204.00

CPT 11102 – Tangntl Bx Skin Single Les $527.00

CPT 88305 – SURG PATH,LEVEL IV $330.00

Total $1,913.00

Why am I being charged twice for each item? Is this normal? Frustratingly, I understand the difference between the administrative fees for hospital clinics (the $200 charge at top, in the case), and the office visit charge with the physician. But why am I seemingly being charged twice for both the biopsy and the pathology?
