Strategic Decision Framework & Eligibility Guide

THE #1 RULE: ACCESS DISQUALIFIES YOU FROM CDCP

  • •If you or your spouse have ACCESS to a workplace dental plan, you are 100% DISQUALIFIED from the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
  • •Access is reported directly to the CRA via T4 Box 45. You cannot opt out of a work plan to claim CDCP.
  • •GOOD NEWS: Workplace group benefits provide far broader, higher-value health protection — and a genuine competitive advantage for attracting top talent.

INCOME OVER $90,000

(Adjusted Family Net Income)

CDCP STATUS: 100% Excluded

THE REALITY:

Government provides $0 for dental care.

100% of medical bills come out-of-pocket.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

  • •Employees / Families: Enrol in employer group benefits immediately.
  • •Self-Employed: Set up a Business Group Plan or HSA to write off medical expenses using 100% tax-deductible dollars.

INCOME UNDER $90,000

(Adjusted Family Net Income)

CDCP STATUS: Eligible ONLY if NO work plan

THE REALITY & HIDDEN COSTS:

  • •$70k–$90k: Requires 40% to 60% Co-pays!
  • •Dentists extra-bill above government rates.
  • •$0 coverage for drugs, vision, or physio.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept Workplace Benefits: Zero co-pay surprises, provincial fee guides, and 360° health protection for the whole family.

WHY GROUP BENEFITS WIN EVERY TIME

CDCP is a minimal safety net for basic teeth. Group benefits protect your entire body, wealth, and family. Employers turn health coverage into tax-deductible ROI while attracting and retaining top talent.
