From Service Canada regarding the Canadian Dental Care Plan ‼️
Renewing your coverage
If you are currently covered under the CDCP, you will need to renew your coverage each year to confirm that you continue to meet all eligibility requirements.
Starting in March 2025, all current members will need to take steps to renew their coverage. Once you have filed your 2024 tax return and received your Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency, you will be ready to renew your coverage online, or in My Service Canada Account (MSCA). You will also be able to contact us and use the automated phone service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect
Renewing your coverage is fast and easy. Make sure to submit your renewal application before June 1, 2025, to avoid a potential gap in coverage.
Once your renewal application is completed, you will receive a determination letter confirming whether you remain eligible under the plan, with coverage effective from the renewal start date and valid until June 30, 2026. Review all the information in your determination letter to confirm any changes, including adjustments to your co-payment level, if applicable, as it could be different based on your 2024 adjusted family net income.
🔔If you have any changes to your coverage or co-payment levels, inform your provider by bringing your letter to your next appointment to avoid unexpected charges for oral health care services.
If you remain eligible, you will be able to use your current member card to access covered services. No new card will be mailed to you.
🔔Your coverage under the CDCP will end on June 30, 2025, if:
➡️you apply to renew your coverage but are found to be no longer eligible
➡️you don’t renew before the June 1, 2025, deadline
NOTE: You can renew after the deadline but you will have a gap in coverage. Your coverage can be reinstated if you still meet the eligibility requirements; however, any oral health care services received during a gap in coverage will not be covered nor reimbursed retroactively
