Direct Billing to Sun Life for CDCP: What It Means for Patients
dentalinsurance
What direct billing means for CDCP patients, how it removes claim forms, and what you still pay at your South Surrey dentist.
When a dental office bills Sun Life directly, the paperwork moves from you to the practice. Here is what that means in practice.
What direct billing is
With direct billing, the dental office submits the claim to Sun Life for you. You pay only your portion at the visit, with no claim forms to complete and no waiting to be reimbursed for the full amount.
Why it matters
In our review of 32 practice websites, only 14 said they bill Sun Life directly. Asking before you book can save time and confusion.
What you still pay
Your portion depends on family income, and the difference between the two fee guides is part of what you owe. We give you your cost before treatment begins.
What to ask your dentist
- Do you bill Sun Life directly for CDCP?
- Will I get an estimate before treatment?
- What happens if a service is not covered?
