The New Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) 2024
At Robertson Family Dentistry, we’re committed to providing our community in Bells Corners, Nepean, and Ottawa with up-to-date information on the latest dental health benefits. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a groundbreaking initiative designed to help Canadians without dental coverage get the care they need. Here’s everything you need to know about CDCP and how it can benefit you.
Understanding the
CDCP
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program aimed at providing dental benefits to Canadians without existing dental insurance and with a household income under $90,000 annually. This plan is designed to supplement, not replace, other forms of dental coverage such as employment-based benefits or private insurance.
Administered by Health Canada and Sun Life, the CDCP targets individuals and families who lack dental benefits. Eligibility notifications will be sent out directly by the government. For specific details on your eligibility, visit the official government page at canada.ca/dental.
It’s crucial to maintain your regular dental appointments even as you wait for CDCP coverage to begin. If your current dentist is not part of the CDCP, you can still receive care, but any costs not covered by the plan will be your responsibility.For more information on the Canadian Dental Care Plan and to verify your eligibility, please visit canada.ca/dental. If you have specific financial concerns or need help with payment options, do not hesitate to discuss them with us during your next visit to Robertson Family Dentistry. BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY!
If you’re already benefiting from programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario, Ontario Disability Support Program, or the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program, you can still apply for the CDCP. These programs will work together to ensure comprehensive coverage without overlapping benefits.
The rollout for CDCP starts in May 2024, with applications opening progressively. Eligible seniors and individuals will receive instructions on how to apply via Service Canada.
