Which prescription drugs are covered? 

The plan covers charges for prescription drugs if they are: 

• Listed on the Saskatchewan Formulary (a listing of drugs approved under the Saskatchewan provincial drug plan);
• Medically necessary;
• Prescribed by a licensed physician; and 
• Dispensed by a registered pharmacist.
