CDCP established fees - what is a co-pay?

Providers will be reimbursed according to the CDCP established fees for each service covered under the plan. CDCP fees may differ from those in provincial and territorial suggested fee guides, that providers often use to charge for services. However, on average, the CDCP fees for the most frequently used procedure codes are set to cover at least 80% or higher of the fees suggested by provincial or territorial oral health provider associations. You may be asked for a Co-payment to cover the difference in these fees**

The 2024 CDCP dental benefit grids for each province and territory are available on the Sun Life website. Fees will be reassessed annually to account for new scientific evidence, inflation, and changes in costs over time.

***A co-payment is the percentage of the CDCP fees that is not covered by the plan and that people covered under the CDCP will have to pay directly to the oral health provider.
