The Canadian Dental Care Plan SE Calgary
At Glenmore Family Dental Care, we know that dental care is important for you and your family. Therefore, we are glad to give out information on the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), a government program that makes dental care available and affordable for people who need it the most.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan SE Calgary is for those with an income below $90,000 a year who do not have private dental insurance; hence, this plan will help lower the expenses involved in dental care for the eligible candidates.
How Does the Canadian Dental Care Plan Work?
The CDCP helps with dental costs. It is a dental benefit managed by Health Canada, and it covers a part of your dental bill based on your family’s income.
Cost-Sharing (Co-Payment) Details
Your co-payment means any amount you need to pay for your dental care depending on the level of your income:
- 100% Coverage (Minimal Co-Payment): Families earning below $70,000 will have most of their dental expenses covered. You are only required to pay the difference between what the CDCP covers and the fees determined by the Fee Guide
- 40% Co-Payment: Families making between $70,000 and $79,999 must pay 40% of the dental bill.
- 60% Co-Payment: Families making between $80,000 and $89,999 must pay 60% of the dental bill.
Note that not everything is covered by the CDCP when it comes to dental services. Some treatments may have extra costs.
