What is the co-pay amount that seniors 65 years and older pay for prescription drugs listed on the Saskatchewan Formulary?

In Saskatchewan, seniors aged 65 years and older generally have a co-pay amount of $25 for prescription drugs that are listed on the Saskatchewan Formulary. This co-pay structure is designed to help manage the costs of medications for seniors while also ensuring access to necessary treatments. Understanding this aspect of Saskatchewan pharmacy law is essential for pharmacy practice as it directly impacts how pharmacists counsel their senior patients regarding medication costs and assist them in managing their prescriptions effectively.

The other amounts do not reflect the current established co-pay for seniors, meaning that they are not applicable in this context. While some healthcare plans may vary or other stipulations exist, the standard co-pay amount for seniors under the provincial plan has been firmly established at $25.
