Accepting CDCP Patients in Grande Prairie

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps people take care of their teeth. This program will give dental coverage to Canadians of all ages, from kids to seniors. Beginning in May 2024, the CDCP will make it easier for families to get the dental services they need. It’s important to know how this plan works and what it includes.

Essential Details About the CDCP

The CDCP is a dental benefit managed by Health Canada.
This is not a free dental program; patients will need to share costs.
Co-payments depend on your adjusted family net income:
- No co-payment for families earning under $70,000.
- A 40% co-payment for families earning between $70,000 and $79,999.
- A 60% co-payment for families earning between $80,000 and $89,999.
Patients may incur additional costs for services not covered by the CDCP.
Coverage varies; not all dental services are included.
It’s crucial to understand your costs before beginning treatment.
Notify your dental provider if you plan to use CDCP benefits, as not all practices may participate.
