加拿大政府牙科保險計劃
今天我們參與了政府牙科保險計劃的諮詢會.
政府牙科保險計劃最快或下周開始接受申請, 首批申請的是87歲以上的長者. 申請資格的範圍將在2024年逐步擴展，預計到了5月，將涵蓋所有65歲以上長者，到6月將包括18歲以下兒童，以及殘疾人士。
申請資格為家庭年收入9萬元以下並且沒有獲得私人牙科保險計劃的加拿大居民(過去一年有報稅)。
-家庭年收入$70,000以下不需自付
–家庭年收入由$70,000-$79,999需自付40%
–家庭年收入由$80,000-$89,999需自付60%
政府牙科保險計劃是沒有年度金額限制, 但需要留意並不是所有牙科診所會參與此計劃.
如果你身邊有長者, 請你幫助他們申請政府牙科保險計劃, 讓他們重拾牙齒健康.87歲以上的長者會在下星期起收到政府的信, 可以開始申請政府牙科保險計劃. 成功申請者會收到永明CDCP卡, 並在下年年中起享獲牙科服務.

Today we participated in a consultation session for the government dental insurance plan. The government dental insurance plan will begin accepting applications as early as next week, prioritizing individuals aged 87 and above. The eligibility criteria will gradually expand throughout 2024, with expectations to cover all individuals aged 65 and above by May, individuals aged 18 and below, as well as individuals with disabilities, by June.
The eligibility criteria require a household annual income of less than $90,000 and no private dental insurance plan for Canadian residents (with tax file in the previous year).
-Household annual income below $70,000 requires no co-payment.
-Household annual income between $70,000 and $79,999 requires a 40% co-payment.
-Household annual income between $80,000 and $89,999 requires a 60% co-payment.
The government dental insurance plan has no annual limit on coverage, but it’s important to note that not all dental clinics will participate in this plan.
If you have seniors around you, please pay attention to this program and help them apply for the government dental insurance plan, enabling them to access dental services. Individuals aged 87 and above will start receiving government letters next week to begin applying for the government dental insurance plan. Successful applicants will receive the Sunlife CDCP membership card and will be eligible for dental services starting in next year.
