Saskatchewan’s Drug Plan benefits process is managed with the help of a number of different information technology systems. Foremost is the Prescription Drug Claims Management System (PDCMS), a Web-based claims adjudication and reimbursement system administered by the Branch and used by the nearly 400 drug stores and pharmacies across the province to calculate a deductible on drug costs – which the citizen pays at the point of dispensing – and to submit a request for reimbursement for the balance. Additional applications – the Saskatchewan Drug Formulary and the Health Canada Database – complement the PDCMS by managing drug-related information, including what drugs can be covered, the manufacturers, the drug compositions, the prices, trade names and so on.
