The Plan provides Saskatchewan teachers with coverage for prescription drugs, a range of healthcare services and supplies, visioncare benefits and emergency care when travelling outside Canada. There are several numbers on the bottom of your pay direct drug card. 11 is the number used to identify the insurance carrier. The 10 digit number represents your member ID that is used every time you make a claim. The Health Plan is now in its second month of operation.
Staff continue to experience a very high volume of calls.
Pharmacies have been notified that they may dispense up to the 90-day limit. Some teachers have experienced a delay in receiving pay direct drug cards. A large shipment of cards is being processed and members who have been waiting for cards will receive them shortly. New enrollees can expect to receive their cards within a month of enrolment.
