Important Notes for CDCP Patients

Preauthorization
Some treatments may require government approval before we proceed. Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through this step.

Coordination with Other Programs

If you’re receiving benefits from another government dental program, the CDCP will coordinate with it to avoid overlap. Let us know if this applies to you.

Annual Renewal
CDCP benefits must be renewed each year. Be sure to reapply before June 1, 2025, to avoid coverage interruptions.
