CDCP Renewal: What You Need to Know for 2025

Were you approved for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) in 2024? Your annual CDCP renewal for 2025 is now due! The Government of Canada is reviewing CDCP eligibility to confirm that participants still meet all the required conditions to keep their dental coverage active.

If you or someone in your household is currently enrolled in the CDCP, here is what you should know:

1. Renew Your Coverage After Filing Your 2024 Tax Return

To renew your CDCP coverage, you must first file your 2024 tax return and obtain your Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You will also receive a letter from the Government of Canada with step-by-step instructions for completing your renewal. Finishing this process on time is essential to maintaining your dental benefits without any breaks in coverage.

2. Deadline for Renewal: June 1, 2025

To prevent a gap in your dental coverage, be sure to complete your renewal before June 1, 2025. Late renewals will still be accepted, but delays may lead to a temporary loss of benefits, and retroactive coverage will not be provided. Keep in mind that any dental costs incurred during a coverage gap will not be covered or reimbursed. Once your coverage is confirmed, visit our website to find a clinic that accepts CDCP patients near you!

3. What do you need for renewed Canadian Dental Care Plan Coverage in 2025?

You will need to submit the following details to the Government of Canada to verify that your personal information is accurate and current:

1. Social Insurance Number
2. Client Number
3. Mailing and Home Address
4. Marital Status (If Applicable)
5. Contact Information (Phone and Email Address)
6. A list of dental coverage through government social programs (If Applicable)

4. What Happens After You Renew Your Canadian Dental Care Plan Coverage in 2025?

Once you have finished the renewal process, you will receive a confirmation letter from the Government of Canada detailing your eligibility status, your updated coverage start date, and any changes to your co-payment amount. Co-payment levels will be calculated based on your 2024 adjusted family net income.

5. What If You Don’t Renew or Are No Longer Eligible?

If you do not complete your Canadian Dental Care Plan renewal for 2025 or no longer qualify for the CDCP, your dental coverage will end on June 30th. You will be notified by letter informing you that your coverage has been terminated.
