Health Card Renewal Stickers Required by December 31

Released on December 12, 2014

Residents with provincial health coverage who have not received their health card renewal stickers in the mail are encouraged to contact eHealth Saskatchewan before December 31, 2014.  The stickers validate health cards for a three year period from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017.

“Saskatchewan health cards ensure people are covered for a variety of medical services,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said.  “We want to make sure all residents have an up-to-date sticker on their health cards so their health coverage is not interrupted.”

Residents who have not received their renewal packages in the mail should update their personal information at www.ehealthsask.ca.  Residents can also come to eHealth Saskatchewan at 2130-11th Avenue, Regina, to receive their renewal sticker or call 1-800-667-7551.  eHealth’s hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. December 24 and 31.

The most common reason for people not to receive their renewal stickers is because they have moved and not updated their address with eHealth.  This year, eHealth Saskatchewan mailed health card renewal stickers to more than 689,000 households in the province from September 15 to 30.
