Get ready to complete positive enrolment for your Public Service Health Care Plan administered by Canada Life
When your Public Service Health Care Plan moves to Canada Life, you’ll be issued a new plan number based on your birth month.
Here’s why your plan number is important.
- Starting July 1, 2023, you’ll need to provide your new PSHCP benefit card (with your new plan number) to your pharmacy and your registered health care providers so they can submit your claims to us electronically.
- Your new plan number is required to submit claims for all your eligible dependants.
- If your spouse or common-law partner is also covered under the PSHCP as a member, you both could have different plan numbers depending on your birth month. Take note if they have a different plan number to ensure claims are submitted accurately.
- If your spouse or common-law partner is also covered under the PSHCP as a member, you both could have different plan numbers depending on your birth month. Take note if they have a different plan number to ensure claims are submitted accurately.
