Understand potential costs
What does the plan pay?
These percentages apply to eligible dental services at the CDCP-established fees. The clinic’s fee may be different, and some services may not be covered.
| Adjusted family net income | CDCP portion |
|---|---|
| Less than $70,000 | 100% |
| $70,000 to $79,999 | 60% |
| $80,000 to $89,999 | 40% |
Important: CDCP coverage is based on the plan’s established fees and may not cover your full treatment cost. You may be responsible for a portion of the cost, differences between clinic fees and CDCP-established fees, and services not covered by the plan. Please ask us for an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
