Analysis: how to think about extraction of erupted tooth costs
The oral surgery category spread for extraction of erupted tooth (CDT D7140) runs 36% between the cheapest and priciest states in our 2024 dataset, and cost of living explains most of that gap, not procedure difficulty.
40 of 50 states reimburse adult Medicaid patients for this code, averaging $90 (about 43% of the private rate). Practices in the other 10 states have no Medicaid fee schedule entry for D7140, which is part of why Medicaid-accepting providers can be scarce for this procedure.
