Making Headlines....

Update on the Canadian Dental Care Plan

Health Canada has released a statement (français) on the system error affecting income calculations for some Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) clients. Approximately 70,000 clients have either been found to be ineligible for the plan or have been assessed at an incorrect co-payment level. Impacted individuals are being notified, and no repayment is required for dental care received before October 24, 2025. CDHA strongly encourages you to:

Ask CDCP clients if they have received a coverage update before proceeding with treatment.
Validate CDCP coverage and co-payment details at each visit, and prior to providing or billing for any services.
