CDCP Renewal – IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
All Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) clients must renew their eligibility annually.
• Renewals for CDCP members do not open until April 15, 2026, for the 2026-27 benefit year (July 1, 2026 – June 20, 2027).
• Patients’ existing CDCP coverage remains valid until June 30, 2026, even if they have not yet renewed.
• Patients will receive a communication (letter or email notification based on their preferred method of communication) from the Government of Canada with instructions on how and when to complete their renewal. No action is required from you before that date.
Key Dates - April 15, 2026: Renewal period opens
• June 1, 2026: Renewal deadline to avoid gaps
• June 30, 2026: End of current benefit year
• July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027: New benefit year
• CDCP Clients Renewal Requirements - clients need to submit their renewal application by June 1, 2026, to avoid a gap in coverage.
Renewal pre-requirement:
• Filing your 2025 tax return in Canada (including spouse/common-law partners’, if applicable)
• Receiving your 2025 Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
Each client will receive a direct communication from the Government of Canada, explaining what you need to do to renew. After renewing, you will receive a determination letter once your eligibility has been assessed.
How Clients Renew:
• Through My Service Canada Account (MSCA)
• Online at Canada.ca/dental
• By phone at 1-833-537-4342 (TTY: 1-833-677-6262)
Renewal confirmation:
• Clients’ continued eligibility, new coverage start date (typically July 1, 2026, unless you renewed after June 1, in which case it could be later) and updated co-payment tier for the new benefit year, if applicable, will be communicated to members during the renewal period.
Clients Who Do Not Renew - For clients who do not renew or are no longer eligible:
• Your coverage will end as of June 30, 2026 (unless it ends sooner due to a member eligibility review finding you ineligible).
• You will receive notice in the renewal letter that your coverage will end on June 30, 2026.
• No additional letter will be sent to confirm that coverage has ended.
Late Renewals • Clients may still renew after June 1, 2026, but:
• A gap in coverage may occur.
• Services received during the gap are not covered, nor are they reimbursed retroactively.
