Did you know.... that the provincial government of Saskatchewan has a program to help make prescription drug costs lower for seniors in Saskatchewan?
Through the Seniors’ Drug Plan, eligible seniors 65 years and older pay a set fee for prescription drugs listed on the Saskatchewan Formulary or approved under Exception Drug Status. Eligibility is determined by age and the income reported on income tax returns filed with the Canada Revenue Agency.
If you would like to learn more about this plan, visit the Seniors’ Drug Plan webpage. This page covers who is eligible, how to apply and includes a helpful question and answer document.
