What Services are Covered Under CDCP?

The CDCP offers various services and it will start working to its full potential by fall 2024. These services include preventive care like cleanings, and sealants, diagnostic services like exams and x-rays, restorative services like fillings, and more.

You can also access endodontic services such as root canals, prosthodontic services like dentures, periodontal services including deep scaling, and oral surgery services such as extractions going forward.

Here’s the present coverage for CDCP:

  • Preventive services such as cleanings, examinations, and X-rays.
  • Restorative services including fillings and root canal treatments.
  • Prosthodontic services such as dentures.
  • Periodontal services including deep cleaning.
  • Oral surgery services including extractions.

How Much Will Be Covered by CDCP?

The CDCP will cover your oral health care expenses based on your family’s income and established CDCP fees. If your family earns between $70,000 and $89,999, or if the cost of your procedures exceed CDCP costs, you have to pay additional fees directly to the provider.

Also, depending on your family income, the provider may ask for a co-payment. Wondering what is that? The co-payment is a portion of CDCP fees that are not covered by the program and must be paid to the provider.

If you get services not covered under CDCP, you will have to pay the full amount.

The compensation from CDCP may differ from what your dentist charges. You might have to pay extra if: the cost of your dental services is higher than what CDCP reimburses, or if you agree to treatment not covered by the plan.

Ask your dentist what dental treatments are covered before getting it done. Stay on top of things with the right info about how much you have to pay out of pocket.
