The Canadian Dental Care Plan
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program that is intended to provide coverage for Canadian residents who do not have dental benefits and have a household income of less than $90,000 a year.
Filling in the Facts About the CDCP
- Dental care under the CDCP is expected to start in May 2024.
- The CDCP is a dental benefit administered by Health Canada. It is not a free dental program.
- Patients will be required to make a co-payment (that is, pay for a portion of their dental care under the CDCP) depending on their adjusted family net income, as follows:
- —No co-payment of the CDCP benefit for those with an adjusted annual family net income under $70,000.
- —A 40 per cent co-payment of the CDCP benefit for those with an adjusted annual family net income between $70,000 and $79,999.
- —A 60 per cent co-payment of the CDCP benefit for those with an adjusted annual family net income between $80,000 and $89,999.
- Patients may also have to pay costs the CDCP does not cover.
- Not all dental services are covered under the CDCP.
- Before proceeding with treatment, it is important to understand your dental care costs.
- Please tell your dental provider if you plan to use CDCP benefits as their practice may or may not participate in the federal program.
