Oh Canada! Readership Survey

CDHA is committed to providing you with timely and relevant information on the latest association and industry activities, news, programs, products, and services. One of our key communications vehicles for this purpose is our member magazine, Oh Canada! This publication is for dental hygienists, by dental hygienists; most articles are authored by CDHA members. Your feedback will help us continue to make this publication relevant to you and your needs. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and will be available until May 7.

Manulife EDI Now Available

CDHA has taken even more steps in the right direction for independent dental hygienists. For those submitting Manulife insurance claims, you can now use EDI! At this time, the EDI method will not provide an immediate response regarding the amount that will be paid, and payments will still be made by cheque. Manulife will continue to develop these two components of electronic claims submissions. Questions? Please contact Donna Wells, manager of professional practice.
