Combined household income levels for eligible Canadians (must be below $90,000 /year)
Below $70,000	Eligible for 100% of CDCP fee. Patients may face additional charges

$80,000 - $89,999	Eligible for 40% of CDCP fee. Patients may face additional charges

EXAMPLES OF THE COVERAGE:

Scenario 1

• A given patient with a combined household income of less than $70,000/year would be eligible for 100% of the CDCP fee. In this
• $125.00*0.8 = $100.00 of coverage
• This leaves a 20% balance for the patient to pay (in this example, $25)

Scenario 2

• If a given patient has a combined household income between $70,000 and $79,999/year they would be eligible for 60% of the CDCP fee. In this example:
• $125.00*0.8 = $100.00 (full CDCP fee)
• $100*0.6 = $60.00 of eligible coverage due to income level
• In this example, the patient has to pay $40 (the ‘co-pay‘ portion) +$25 (the ‘balance billing‘ portion) for a total of $65.00.

Scenario 3

• If a given patient has a combined household income between $80,000 and $89,999/year they would be eligible for 40% of the CDCP fee. In this example:
• $125.00*0.8 = $100.00 (full CDCP fee)
• $100*0.4 = $40.00 of eligible coverage due to income level
• In this example, the patient has to pay $60 (the ‘co-pay‘ portion) +$25 (the ‘balance billing‘ portion) for a total of $85.00

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE CDCP?

What does dental insurance include?

Not having access to dental insurance is defined as:

• No dental insurance through your employer or a family member’s employer benefits, including a health and wellness account.
• No dental insurance through your pension (previous employer) or a family member’s pension benefits.
• No coverage through a professional or student organization; or
• No dental insurance purchased by yourself or by a family member through a group plan from an insurance/benefits company.

What will be covered and how much?

• Preventive services, including scaling(cleaning), polishing, sealants, and fluoride.
• Diagnostic services, including examinations and X-rays.
• Restorative services, including fillings.
• Endodontic services, including root canal treatment.
• Prosthodontic services, including complete and partial removable dentures.
• Periodontal services, including deep scaling.
• Oral surgery services, including extractions.

Why are you charging an additional fee (balance billing)?

This charge is the amount not covered by the CDCP. Health Canada decided not to cover the full costs of treatment through the CDCP, so patients must make up the difference.
