One of the most important cards in your wallet is being renewed this fall.

Health Card Renewal Packages will be sent out to all Saskatchewan residents with provincial health coverage in September.

The packages contain stickers that renew health cards for a three-year period and are being sent out by eHealth Saskatchewan.

Any resident with a change in address or family composition (married, divorced, separated, deceased) within the last 3 years are asked to update that information with eHealth Saskatchewan to ensure the packages are received before health cards expire. 

"Our priority is to ensure that you and your family maintain health coverage, which is why we want to confirm ahead of time that your renewal package will be mailed to the correct address," Health Minister Jim Reiter said.

All provincial health cards expire on December 31, 2017, and this year, packages will be sent out to more than 670,000 households in the province.

"As soon as you receive the new sticker in the mail, we encourage you to place it on your health card, so that you can continue being eligible for covered medical services," eHealth Saskatchewan CEO Susan Antosh said.

Residents can update their personal information at www.ehealthsask.ca. They can also visit eHealth Saskatchewan at 2130-11th Avenue, Regina or call 1-800-667-7551.
