Membership Means More
Be part of the national professional association that does more for you: more
learning, more connections, more support,
more public recognition, and more savings.
Membership also means more peace of mind thanks to a comprehensive professional
liability insurance (PLI) program,
automatically included with your CDHA Active (Practising) membership fee. Your policy includes $1M per claim
and $5M per
year, coverage for defence of complaints made to dental hygiene regulatory bodies, reimbursement of criminal
defence
costs, pro bono legal assistance, and a two-year extended reporting period, all with no deductible. The
policy also
protects you 24/7 throughout your full scope of practice as a dental hygienist and is not tied to a place of
employment.
Get to know the benefits of your PLI policy before you need it. Visit cdha.ca/insurance
for helpful resources and videos.
NEW! The 2024 PLI policy includes Worldwide coverage for claims brought forward and defended in
Canada. For more
information about this change and how it may apply to your practice, or for other questions about PLI,
please contact
our broker, BMS, at 1-855-318-6557 or cdha.insurance@bmsgroup.com.
