Key competitive benefits

  • A Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) is an option under our Flexible Spending Account benefit. Employees can use their HSA for laser eye surgery or other treatments that aren't covered under the group health or dental plan.
  • The SaskPower dental plan has no lifetime maximum on orthodontic work. Many other plans have $1,500 to $3,000 maximums.
  • The out-of-country travel coverage provided by MedAssist can save employees from buying expensive travel medical insurance. The savings for two people going on a two-week Mexico vacation are nearly $375.
  • Prescription eyewear coverage under the SaskPower plan is $300 each consecutive 24-month period, plus employees are covered for up to $100 a year for basic routine eye exams. Many other plans are limited to $200 every two years for prescription eyewear.
