President of the Canadian Dental Association Heather Carr is concerned about the Liberal/NDP coalition government’s mismarketed and not-so-FREE dental plan because of secrecy – and their refusal to provide dentists with all the information before its rollout in May of this year.
The government has been campaigning on a “Free Dental Plan” for low-income Canadians but the program isn’t free – and there will be associated costs to the patient.
In fact, The program has very limited coverage and requires pre-authorizations through the government that could take up to six months to be approved.
However, according to Carr, the biggest concern is the government’s involvement with the program because the relationship should be between the dentist and the patient. Not the dentist and the government.
But more importantly, the terms and conditions of the program haven’t been established – and the government is refusing to provide clinics with all the information allowing them to make informed educated decisions on whether the program is beneficial for them and the patients.
