NIHB Dental Benefits at Woodbend Dental
The Non-Insured Health Benefits program provides eligible First Nations and Inuit clients with coverage for a range of health benefits, including dental services. Eligibility and coverage are determined under the current program rules.
Confirm eligibility and services
Review the current NIHB Dental Benefits Guide or contact the program to confirm eligibility, covered services, frequency limits, and any approval requirements. A dental provider can explain the proposed treatment but cannot guarantee program payment.
Ask Woodbend Dental before booking
The current Woodbend Dental website describes NIHB dental care. Call the clinic to confirm current participation, appointment availability, and whether the service you need can be coordinated under your benefits.
Discuss costs and approval
Some services may require prior approval or supporting information. Ask the clinic what it can submit, what approval is needed before treatment, and whether any amount may remain your responsibility. Do not begin treatment based only on an estimate.
Protect your information
Bring the identification or benefit details requested by the clinic. Share personal program information directly through the clinic’s approved process rather than an unsecured message.
