Some provincial health cards issued to Saskatchewan residents are set to expire at the end of this year, and so renewal stickers are now on their way to more than 685,000 households in the province via mail.
The renewal stickers will validate Saskatchewan health cards for another three years, until the end of 2023, ensuring that Saskatchewan Health Card holders continue to have access to health coverage under the provincial insurance plan.
Cards that have an expiry date other than Dec. 31, 2020 will not need a renewal sticker
Safety precautions have been made during the production and distribution of the renewal stickers this year, and both the World Health Organization and Public Health Agency of Canada have confirmed that it is safe to handle mail.
The renewal packages are set to arrive between late May and the end of June, say officials, and residents are to contact eHealth Saskatchewan if they do not receive their renewal stickers by the end of July.
Residents who have moved in the last three years and not updated their primary address with eHealth Saskatchewan will need to contact the organization to ensure their renewal package reaches them.
For more information on the status of renewal packages, visit ehealthsask.ca/renew.
To contact eHealth Saskatchewan about your renewal package or to update your address, call 1-800-667-7551 on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or email Change@eHealthSask.ca.
