Public Service Health Care Plan Directive - April 1, 2006

The Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP) is an optional health care plan for federal public service employees and their dependants designed to supplement provincial health insurance plans. Information technology is used to reimburse PSHCP participants for all or part of costs they have incurred for eligible services and products, as identified in the PSHCP document, only after they have made use of the benefits that their provincial/territorial health insurance plan provides or after they have made use of other third-party sources of health care expenses assistance to which they have a legal right.
