On November 1, 2024, a wider range of essential treatments, including partial dentures, crowns, and higher levels of sedation, became available to Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) patients through the launch of preauthorization. Although this expansion offers CDCP patients access to more care options, the final decision to provide coverage rests with Sun Life and/or Health Canada. Prior to the November 1 launch of preauthorization, 74% of dentists surveyed by CDA indicated that they would be submitting preauthorization requests that have been delayed since the CDCP launch in May. For patients, this preauthorization process may require additional waiting periods. CDA recommends that patients discuss potential treatment options with their dentist in advance. A new CDCP Look Up Tool was also launched in November, accessible for all participating dentists in both the CDCP Preauthorization Launched claim‑by‑claim and registration pathways. The tool allows dentists to verify a CDCP patient’s coverage start date, copayment level, and covered services. Dentists will need a Sun Life Direct account to access the new tool.
