CDCP

Empress Dentistry is pleased to accept your Canadian Dental Care Plan benefits. We are excited to see that many more people now have access to dental benefits through this Federal government program. As we already do for most other insurance plans, we will gladly submit your claim electronically and direct bill to SunLife so you don't have to pay the full cost of the treatment upfront. Here are a few key points we'd like you to keep in mind:

• The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a dental benefit for eligible Canadian residents who do not have access to dental insurance and have an adjusted household net income of less than $90,000.
• The CDCP does not provide free dental care. It is a government dental benefit that covers a part of the cost of your care. You may have to pay the portion of costs that are not covered and, if your household income is above $70,000, the government requires a co-pay of 40 to 60 per cent.
• The CDCP is managed by Health Canada and administered by Sun Life. Dentists are not involved in deciding who is eligible or what services are covered.
• The CDCP is for Canadians who do not have dental benefits. It should not replace benefits people already have, such as workplace or private dental plans.
• Not all treatments and services are covered. Please visit Canada.ca/dental to learn what the CDCP covers and what it doesn’t.

Our office bases its treatment fees on the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) fee guide. Any co-payment (ie. amounts not reimbursed by the CDCP for the treatment) is the responsibility of the patients and the co-payment is due on the day of treatment.
