The Public Service Dental Care Plan (DCP) is a private health service plan for federal Public Service employees and their eligible dependants. It covers you for specific dental services and supplies that are not covered under your provincial health care or dental care plan. The purpose of the Dental Care Plan is to provide members and their dependants with coverage, up to certain limits, for expenses for required services and supplies.

The Public Service Dental Care Plan has 5 components:

The complete terms and conditions of your Public Service Dental Care Plan are set out in the Dental Care Plan Rules.

The employee booklet Dental Care Plan (DCP) Public Service of Canada describes your benefits as a plan member. The Canada Life Assurance Company of Canada administers the DCP. Plan members, who do not have access to the Internet, should contact their departmental compensation advisor.
