A bone scan (CBCT scan) for implant planning is not reimbursed as standard under basic health insurance. Some supplementary dental insurance policies cover part of the costs. Where there is a medical indication, such as a congenital condition, reimbursement may be possible. The level of reimbursement differs per insurer and package. Check with your insurer in advance what the cover is. Your clinician can provide a detailed cost estimate for your claim. Hospital scans are sometimes reimbursed, but have longer waiting times. Private clinics offer faster scans at a higher cost to you. A good scan reduces the risk of complications and improves the chances of success. Weigh the costs against the benefits of precise 3D planning.
