The only after-hours service that handles CDCP intake automatically.
Every CDCP call is a 7-step eligibility interview. No other after-hours answering service in Canada automates this. Aida does. PHIPA compliant. Canadian data residency. Audit trail on every call.
CDCP calls cannot go to voicemail.
CDCP patients are calling in record numbers. Each call requires verifying eligibility, collecting Sun Life member IDs, explaining coverage, and booking. A missed CDCP call is a lost patient.

The full 7-step CDCP intake, automated.
Aida runs every step your front desk runs during the day: member ID verification, eligibility confirmation, coverage explanation, and appointment booking.

Confirm practice acceptance

Explain coverage details
Aida explains what CDCP covers at this practice: preventive care, basic restorative, and any practice-specific notes.
Check availability and book

Send SMS confirmation
Patient receives a confirmation with appointment date, time, dentist name, and practice address.
Built for PHIPA compliance from the ground up.
PHIPA requires that personal health information be protected throughout its lifecycle. Aida was architected to satisfy those requirements: Canadian servers, encryption, and a complete audit trail.
Canadian data residency
All patient data is stored on Canadian servers. No data leaves Canada. This satisfies the PHIPA requirement that personal health information be stored within Canada or in a jurisdiction with equivalent protections.
End-to-end encryption
Calls, transcripts, and patient records are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Only your practice account has access to its own patient data.
Audit trail on every interaction
Every call is logged with a timestamp, transcript, caller data collected, and outcome. Your practice maintains a complete audit trail of all patient interactions handled by Aida.
Full compliance checklist
CDCP and compliance questions answered.
PHIPA compliant, Canadian servers, full audit trail. A data processing agreement is available for all practices.
What is the CDCP and why does it require special intake?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program providing dental coverage to eligible Canadians through Sun Life Financial. Every CDCP call requires verifying the patient's Sun Life member ID, confirming eligibility, explaining practice-level coverage, and booking. This is a multi-step intake process that after-hours voicemail cannot handle. Aida automates the full 7-step process.
What is PHIPA and does Aida comply with it?
PHIPA is the Personal Health Information Protection Act, Ontario's health privacy legislation. It governs how personal health information is collected, used, and disclosed. Aida is PHIPA compliant: all data is stored on Canadian servers, encrypted in transit and at rest, and subject to a complete audit trail. Practices outside Ontario: provincial health privacy laws (PIPA in BC, HIA in Alberta) have similar requirements, all of which Aida's Canadian-only architecture satisfies.
Where is patient data stored?
All patient data is stored on Canadian servers. No information is routed through or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions. This is a PHIPA requirement for most Ontario health information custodians and a standard expectation for Canadian dental practices.
Can I access call transcripts and logs?
Yes. Every call handled by Aida generates a full transcript, call summary, and structured data record (caller name, contact number, appointment details). These are accessible through your practice dashboard and can be exported. Your team reviews overnight calls when they arrive in the morning.
How does Aida handle CDCP patients whose eligibility cannot be confirmed?
If Aida cannot confirm eligibility (for example, the caller does not have their Sun Life member ID), Aida explains the situation, collects a callback number, and flags the call for your team to follow up. The call is never dropped without a resolution path.
Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement or privacy agreement?
Yes. We provide a data processing agreement that covers PHIPA obligations, data residency, retention, and security controls. This is available as part of onboarding for all practices.
