Seniors’ Drug Plan

The Ministry of Health determines eligibility based on age and the net income (Line 23600) reported on your income tax return filed with the Canada Revenue Agency.

• You must be a Saskatchewan resident within two months of being 65 years of age or older with a valid Saskatchewan Health card.
• You must be eligible for the provincial age credit, which is based on the annual net income you reported on Line 23600 of your income tax form in the previous two years. Your net income must be $75,918 or less on your 2023 income tax to be eligible for the year 2025.
• Seniors covered through federal government programs, such as the federal Non-Insured Health Benefits Program or Veterans Affairs, are not eligible for the Seniors' Drug Plan.
