Have You any Question ?

Can CBCT and interpretation be charged to insurance? If so, what are the codes that can be used?

Yes, CBCT data interpretation can be charged to dental insurance.

CDT code D0391 under Interpretation and Report Only section is the appropriate code (Interpretation of diagnostic image by a practitioner not associated with capture of the image, including report) to use.

What is the advantage of CBCT data being interpreted by a board certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist?

Since knowledge of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology is essential for accurate diagnosis and the success of any treatment plan, a thorough understanding of the anatomy and pathology of oral and maxillofacial structures is critical. Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists undergo extensive training to develop the skills necessary to integrate and synthesize basic science and clinical knowledge, applying this expertise to the radiographic diagnosis of the maxillofacial region. As a result, many practices routinely have all CBCT scans reviewed by a radiologist to reduce the risk of overlooking significant findings.

There are several important reasons to have your CBCT volumes reviewed. Our radiologists can assist you by:

  • Identifying lesions, including occult pathology

  • Providing comprehensive reports of all positive findings

  • Offering expert second opinions

  • Addressing questions and concerns with clarity and precision

Are there any CDT codes for image capture only that I can use to file dental insurance?

D0391 is typically used when a specialist (e.g., oral radiologist) reviews a scan taken by a general dentist, and vice-versa.
