Understanding Health Insurance in Saskatchewan
Every year, the government cuts services covered by the Saskatchewan Provincial Health Insurance plan, making residents responsible for paying more of 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 on your bottom line. Gain peace of mind and the financial protection you need with a health insurance plan from SBIS. With suitable 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. 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.
SBIS has been helping Saskatchewan residents find the health insurance plan that’s right for them for more than 25 years. We will save you time and reduce your anxiety by helping you navigate the insurance application process.

- Access to quality insurance plans
