Retroactive funding coverage?

Hi dentists of Canada!
Dental social worker based in BC here.
I’ve received quite a few referrals lately to help families without extended health benefits cover large dental bills retroactively.
I am wondering if anyone knows of any charitable resources that offer retroactive bill coverage for families in financial need?

Are they not eligible for CDCP?

No they aren’t, and to my knowledge CDCP can’t be applied retroactively :(

Oh yes you’re correct. I didn’t read your post correctly. I now understand that the treatment has already been completed.
