Health care in Yukon: health card, drug plans and dental help
How health insurance works in Yukon, provincial drug plans with their amounts, dental care and disability supports.
Your provincial health insurance
Medically necessary hospital and doctor services in Yukon are covered by the provincial plan: Yukon Health Care Insurance Plan. Your health card is the key to those services. It is valid in your province, and you should keep your previous coverage until the new one starts, since a waiting period can apply when you move. Official government site ↗
