Pensioners’ Dental Services Plan contribution rates

The Pensioners’ Dental Services Plan (PDSP) costs are equally shared between the plan member and the Government of Canada.

The contribution rates depend on the “category of coverage” selected. Only one category of coverage can be chosen. Amendments to coverage can increase or decrease the monthly contribution (for example, enrolling a new spouse, an eligible child reaching the age of 21 and no longer in school, etc.).
