Open ProvincesPrescription drug coverage in Saskatchewan: public plans and how to enrol
The public prescription drug plans of Saskatchewan, who they cover and how to register, from the official pages. Private insurance and the federal Non-Insured Health Benefits are separate.
Public drug plans
Special Support Program: a deductible and co-payment set by your total family income and drug costs, for a calendar year; apply with the Special Support form and income documents (Side A lets the CRA release your income, with no annual application as long as you file taxes; Side B is for people who do not file). Coverage begins when the Drug Plan receives your complete application. People with Veterans Affairs or Non-Insured Health Benefits coverage are not eligible. An estimate calculator is online. Other programs: Family Health Benefits, income supplements, Exception Drug Status.
Deductibles, premiums, co-payments and income limits change every year or program year and some pages are older: they are mostly not listed here, so confirm on the official page. Use private insurance first when you have it (public plans are the payer of last resort). First Nations and Inuit may qualify for the federal Non-Insured Health Benefits. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
