Navigating the US CBCT Dental Market in 2025 involves managing complex reimbursement and insurance shifts. Recent state-level laws passed in late 2024 and 2025—such as those in Illinois and Nevada—now require insurers to pay dentists directly regardless of network status, improving the financial viability of investing in expensive imaging tools. However, claim denial rates remain high, with roughly 1 in 5 dental claims being delayed or denied due to stricter documentation standards for medical necessity.
Regulatory bodies like the FDA are also tightening oversight on AI-based diagnostic claims. In 2025, new guidelines require transparent disclosure when AI is used in treatment planning and ensure that human oversight remains central to clinical reasoning. To maintain compliance and maximize revenue, U.S. practices are increasingly adopting "smart claim scrubbing" tools that review CBCT-related claims for accuracy and ICD-10 narrative support before submission.
