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.

Important Update for British Columbia Members
CDHA is now collecting your provincial and national association dues directly rather than through the
college, as has been done in the past.
Your renewal will cover a 13-month period (March 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024), for this year
only, to realign with the British Columbia College of
Oral Health Professionals’ (BCCOHP) new licensing period (April 1 to March 31).
While you'll renew your license with BCCOHP, you’ll now need to renew your BCDHA/CDHA membership with CDHA
directly to ensure you have the required professional liability insurance (PLI) in place and continue access
to premium membership benefits.
Please refer to our membership
FAQs if you have other membership questions.
