About Interim Federal Health Program

The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) helps cover some health care costs for people in Canada who do not yet have provincial or territorial health insurance. It provides temporary coverage for essential medical services while someone waits for other health coverage.

IFHP also includes limited dental care, but only for urgent problems. This means dental treatment may be covered if it is needed to relieve pain, treat an infection, or fix an injury. Routine dental care, such as cleanings, check-ups, or cosmetic treatments, is not covered.
