Understanding Health Insurance in Saskatchewan
Every year the government cuts products and services covered by the Saskatchewan provincial health insurance plan, making residents responsible for paying the bill. A supplemental health insurance plan from Special Benefits Insurance Services can help fill the gaps left by the government plan. Additional coverage from our Saskatchewan health insurance plans will limit your out-of-pocket expenses and protect your bottom line.
A single injury or illness can have a devastating impact to your bottom line. Gain peace of mind and the financial protection you need with a health insurance plan from Special Benefits. With adequate coverage, you can rest assured that you and your family will have access to the care you need without breaking the bank.
Looking for health insurance in Saskatchewan can be overwhelming. There are a variety of factors to think about when purchasing a health insurance plan. You must review the plans to learn what is covered and not covered, decide what amount of coverage is right for you and your family and determine how much you can afford to pay.
Special Benefits has been helping Saskatchewan residents find the health insurance plan that’s right for them for more than two decades. We will save you time and reduce your anxiety by helping you navigate the insurance buying process.

Get Access to Additional Products and Services
Most provincial plans offer basic coverage for a handful of medical expenses. Additional treatments are either covered in part or not at all. If you need a treatment that is not covered under your provincial plan, you will be required to pay for the full cost unless you have additional insurance. Individual health insurance plans help defray your out-of-pocket costs by paying for products and services not covered by your provincial plan, including:
- Vision exams, eyeglasses, contact lenses
- Dental care
- Prescription drugs
- Ambulance transportation
- Hearing aids
- Home support services
- Medical items
