What Happens if I Cannot Afford my Dental Co-payment under the Cdcp?
The Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP) provides coverage based on family income, but it may still require an income-based co-payment. If you are a resident of Squamish and find that you cannot afford this out-of-pocket balance, Parkside Dental Group offers several alternative financing solutions to ensure you can still receive the care you need:
- In-House Payment Plans: We offer simplified, interest-free arrangements directly through our practice. These plans require no credit check and can be customized over 6, 12, or 18 months.
- DentalCard iFinance: This third-party solution acts as a dental credit card. It often offers promotional terms, such as 0% APR for the first 12 months, followed by variable rates for terms up to 36 months.
- Direct Insurance Billing: To further minimize your immediate financial burden, our team handles direct billing to the CDCP and private insurers, so you are only responsible for the remaining balance at the time of treatment.
We treat every patient like family and encourage you to have a transparent conversation with our staff. We can help you combine the CDCP with our internal or third-party financing to create a package that fits your personal budget.
