Bill 614 — The Saskatchewan Medical Care Insurance (Banning Private Fees) Amendment Act

Introduced on 2026-03-11 · Sponsor: Meara Conway

Bans physicians from charging patients extra fees or access fees for insured medical services in Saskatchewan.

  • Defines 'access fees' as extra charges for faster, preferred or exclusive access to insured services
  • States the Act's purpose is to prohibit private payment for insured health services
  • Prohibits physicians from charging or collecting any amount beyond government benefits for insured services
  • Blocks physicians from receiving government payment if they know a patient was charged an access fee
  • Allows charging for non-insured goods or services needed before an insured service, if not otherwise banned
  • Sets escalating penalties: warning, referral to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, then loss of eligibility for payment
  • Requires written notice, in plain language with signed acknowledgement, when a service is charged privately

One click on “Ask for an explanation” = a citizen request for the bill's sponsor to explain it in plain language, and for us to keep an eye on it together.

An account (email) is required — one request per person, no anonymous requests. Each bill's total is public: it shows which bills people want explained.
