Health Minister Mark Holland says he is looking into it, and the CEO of the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association says he committed to pay parity during a recent meeting
A new national dental-care plan denies independent hygienists equal reimbursement for the same services offered in dentists’ offices – and the federal health minister said this week he isn’t convinced by the rationale that led to that disparity.
“I’m concerned about that too,” Health Minister Mark Holland said Tuesday. “I haven’t been convinced by the rationale defending it.” Holland said he is looking into it, and the CEO of the hygienists’ association says the minister has committed to make a change.
