CDCP

Now Accepting Canadian Dental Care Plan ( CDCP )

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is helping make the cost of dental care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents.

Frequently asked questions:

Who qualifies for the CDCP?

• Do not have dental insurance through a private or pension plan or with an employer.
• Your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000
• You’re a Canadian resident for tax purposes
• You filed your tax return for the previous year

How much will the CDCP cover?

The CDCP will reimburse a portion of the cost of your treatment, but it will not pay the full amount. The CDCP has developed their own fee guide. These fees differ from the Manitoba Dental Association and from our office fee guide. Additional charges you will need to pay are based on the difference between the CDCP fee guide and the office fee guide, as well as the percent of CDCP you are covered at, and for any services you agree to that the CDCP does not cover.

The CDCP coverage percentage is determined by your family's net annual income shown on the previous year's tax return. Co-payment or fees not covered are paid directly to the dental office.

What is covered?

The CDCP covers oral health services designed to prevent and treat oral disease and to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Note: Some services and additional treatments beyond established frequency limits will require preauthorization by the CDCP. This means your provider will recommend treatment and the CDCP will assess if the treatment will be covered. This pre-approval must happen before you can receive the treatment. The decision will take into consideration your oral health history and medical conditions. Services and additional treatments requiring approval in advance will be available in November 2024.
