    Saskatchewan Drug Plan: How Coverage Works

    Last reviewed 2026-09-24

    Saskatchewan residents with a valid health card are eligible for help through the Saskatchewan Drug Plan, which covers drugs on the provincial formulary. Several programs lower costs further for specific groups.

    Main programs

    • Seniors' Drug Plan — residents 65+ pay up to $25 per prescription for formulary drugs (income limits apply).
    • Children's Drug Plan — children 14 and under pay up to $25 per prescription.
    • Special Support Program — for families whose drug costs are high compared with income; sets a deductible and co-payment based on income.
    • Income-based coverage for people receiving income assistance.
