  • are covered under a hospitalization and medical plan of a Canadian province or territory or equivalent.

Spouse and Dependent Children of a person eligible for this coverage who are, under the age of seventy and covered under a hospitalization and medical plan of a Canadian province or territory or equivalent, are eligible if the additional family health coverage was purchased for the current benefit period.

Dental Accident Insurance 100%

Reimbursement for the services of a licensed dental practitioner for dental care to natural teeth when necessitated by a direct blow to the mouth and not by an object wittingly or unwittingly placed in the mouth. The accident must occur while the coverage is in force. When natural teeth have been damaged eligible services are limited to one set of artificial teeth. You must notify Green Shield Canada immediately following the accident and the treatment must commence within 180 days of the accident.

Green Shield Canada will not be liable for any services performed after the earlier of

  • 365 days following the accident; or
  • the date you or your dependent cease to be covered under this plan.

No amount will be paid for periodontia or orthodontia treatments or the repair or replacement of artificial teeth.

Charges will be based on the current Provincial Dental Association Fee Guide for General Practitioners in the province where services are rendered. Approval will be based on the current status and/or benefit level of the covered person at the time that we are notified of the accident.

In the event of a dental accident, claims should be submitted under the health benefit plan before submitting them under the dental plan.

Pre-authorization required. An estimate for all dental accident services MUST be submitted to Green Shield Canada. If you go ahead with treatment without a pre-determination being approved, you are doing so at the risk of the expenses being yours.
