Once approved for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), you’ll receive a dental card that gives you access to covered services at participating clinics. It works like a benefits card — and it’s your proof of enrollment in the program.
Here’s what you need to know:
🪪 What the Card Is For
- Your CDCP dental card:
- Confirms your eligibility for the program
- Lets participating clinics bill CDCP directly
- Shows your name and unique patient ID number
🏥 How to Use It
- Bring your card (digital or physical copy) to each appointment
- Present it at reception before treatment
- Your clinic will verify your co-payment level (0%, 40%, or 60%)
📌 Lost Your Card?
- You can view or reprint your card by logging into CRA My Account
- If you don’t have internet access, contact CRA’s support line for help
💡 Tip: Bring ID Too
You may be asked to show government-issued ID (e.g., health card or driver’s licence) alongside your CDCP card to confirm your identity.
