Dental spending increased by $4B in 2023
A new study released by the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute shows dental spending in the U.S. increased by 2.5% between 2022 and 2023. The near-entirety of the year’s $4 billion growth is attributed to $3 billion in increased Medicare spending by seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans and $1 billion in increased Medicaid spending.
While government spending on dentistry has increased substantially, private insurance and out-of-pocket spending has dipped slightly by 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively.
