The Canada Post service disruption may delay health card processes. This includes:
- Delivery of health cards requested prior to a service disruption
- Delivery of paper health card applications and information updates sent to eHealth via Canada Post
To help avoid delays:
- Apply online – Request a replacement health card or update your health card information online if you have an existing Saskatchewan Health Services account (this account lets you manage the information attached to your health card such as your name and contact information). We are currently experiencing technical issues that prevent users from creating a new Saskatchewan Health Services account.
- Send by courier – If unable to apply online, send your paper form by courier.
- Visit in person – In Regina, apply for a health card at our front desk, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (excluding holidays)
Health cards are not currently being mailed. You (and your family if applicable) will be sent a Confirmation of Coverage letter by email if you are eligible for coverage, have applied for health benefits and you provided your email address with your application. The Confirmation of Coverage letter can be used in place of a health card. Your health card(s) will be mailed to you when regular mail service resumes.
If you have questions or require assistance, please call us at 1-800-667-7551.
Saskatchewan Health Cards
All Saskatchewan residents must register themselves and their dependents for a Saskatchewan Health Card in order to receive health benefits.
The Saskatchewan Health Card is a valuable personal identification card that you should be prepared to present whenever you need health services.
