Important Updates for CDCP Renewal

As part of the Canadian Dental Care Plan’s (CDCP) eligibility process, CDCP clients must renew their coverage every year to confirm that they continue to meet the eligibility criteria. The renewal process started in March 2025 for the (CDCP) new coverage benefit year beginning June 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

If you are currently covered under the CDCP, you can expect to receive a letter from the Government of Canada informing you that you need to renew your coverage prior to June 1, 2025, and how to do so.

For CDCP renewal information or assistance with the process, please contact 1-833-537-4342 (teletypewriter (TTY): 1-833-677-6262) or visit Canada.ca/dental.

What can you expect if you are still eligible?

For CDCP clients that remain eligible under the plan:

• The new coverage benefit period start date, which for the majority should be June 1, 2025, but could be later, depending on when you renew
• Any changes to your co-payment (if applicable) will take effect as of your new coverage benefit period and will be valid until June 30, 2026.

CDCP verification is required as of June 1, 2025

As of June 1, 2025, we will need to verify that you are still covered under the plan and if your co-payment level has changed before providing services. Any estimates or preauthorization submissions previously approved will not be valid if your are no longer covered under the plan and the care is received after June 30, 2025.
