Welcome to the Independent Practice Network (IPN)

The Independent Practice Network (IPN) is designed to meet your specific needs as a member of CDHA’s growing community of independent practice dental hygienists. Membership in the network must be renewed yearly. CDHA’s Professional Practice Advisor, Clayton De Corte, is your contact for Practice Success inquiries.

Our Commitment to You

Support for CDHA’s independent practitioners is a high priority for the association. Today, thanks to that commitment, over 1,400 CDHA members are part of this network, almost all insurance carriers accept standard paper claims, and more than 700 members submit claims electronically through CDHA-ACHDnetTM to over 40 different carriers. CDHA has also worked hard to secure government contracts allowing independent practitioners to provide services and improve access to care in remote, underserviced areas, for First Nations people through the NIHB Program, as well as for seniors and other vulnerable Canadian populations.

Growing Together

As CDHA continues its efforts to advance independent practice, it is clear that formal mobilization of the group will help move us forward. By joining this exciting network for only $79, you will receive special benefits available ONLY to members of the IPN.

The Benefits

CDHA looks forward to having you join this unique network to further promote the progress and strengthen the position of independent practitioners across Canada! To ensure your access to all of these valuable benefits after November 1, 2023, remember to include the Independent Practice Network (IPN) membership add-on option when renewing your CDHA membership.
