What it is: Full set of intraoral X-rays The American Dental Association assigns this procedure CDT code D0210, which is the standardized billing code used by every Medicaid program and dental insurance carrier in the United States.
What it costs: The national private-market average is $153 based on the ADA Health Policy Institute Survey of Dental Fees (2024).

State Medicaid programs that cover intraoral complete series of radiographs for adults reimburse an average of $66 (range $44–$104 across covering states).
Why state matters: Two factors drive the spread. First, state Medicaid programs negotiate their own dental fee schedules — high-paying states pay roughly 1.5x what low-paying states pay for the identical CDT code. Second, the private market follows local cost of living, captured by the Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parities. The full state-by-state table is below.

Analysis: how to think about intraoral complete series of radiographs costs
The roughly 36% spread between the lowest- and highest-cost states for intraoral complete series of radiographs comes almost entirely from cost of living, not from differences in clinical complexity. A dentist's fee for a D0210 procedure in Mississippi (BEA RPP 86.4) versus New York (BEA RPP 117.5) tracks the local rent, wages, and supply costs the practice has to cover. The ADA HPI national average we start from is the population-weighted survey value across all surveyed practices.
The Medicaid coverage column matters more than the Medicaid fee itself for most adults. In the 40 jurisdictions that do reimburse for intraoral complete series of radiographs under their adult Medicaid program, the reimbursement averages around $66 — about 43% of the average private fee. Practices that accept Medicaid are absorbing the gap, which is why "Medicaid-accepting dentist" is not always easy to find. For a state-specific look at adult dental coverage scope, see each state page.
When budgeting for this procedure: treat the private estimate as a midpoint, not a ceiling. Specialty providers (oral surgeons, prosthodontists, periodontists) typically charge 15–40% above the general dentist rate for procedures within their specialty. Get a written treatment estimate before treatment, and ask whether the figure is the procedure fee alone or whether it bundles diagnostic codes (X-rays, exams) commonly billed alongside.
