Provincial Health Coverage Authorities Directory

The health coverage authority for every province and territory — each linked to its official page.

13 verified listings · last refreshed 2026-11-14

Health coverage is provincial and territorial: the plan, the card, and the wait run differently in each jurisdiction. This directory lists the official page for each one, so you can start from the authority that governs you.

This is a listing only — no eligibility, waiting-period, or coverage claims live here; those live in the health-card guides. Entries are re-checked on the Second Pass volatile schedule.
