Planning for healthcare in retirement
Preparing for retirement often includes thinking about finances, lifestyle changes and long-term health needs. One important step is ensuring you have the right health coverage in place as you transition away from workplace benefits. Saskatchewan Blue Cross offers a flexible retiree health plan that provides comprehensive protection and allows you to choose options that match your retirement lifestyle.
The retiree plan features more than 36 coverage combinations, giving you the ability to tailor your protection based on your unique needs. Members can choose from three plan levels: Basic, Classic and Enhanced. Each level offers a different mix of benefits so you can select the coverage that feels right for you.
Every plan includes Extended Health Benefits, VIP Travel Coverage and Prescription Drug Coverage. These features help ensure you stay protected both at home and while travelling. Dental Coverage is also available as an optional add-on for those who want broader protection.
Eligibility requirements
To enroll in the retiree plan, you must:
- Live in Saskatchewan with valid Saskatchewan Health coverage
- Be 50 years of age or older
- Be retiring or recently retired and have lost coverage through a group benefits plan
This plan is designed to make the shift from workplace benefits to retirement coverage simple and reliable. It helps ensure uninterrupted access to the health services you rely on so you can focus on enjoying the next chapter of your life with confidence.
