About Federal Public Service Health Care Plan Administration Authority

The Federal Public Service Health Care Plan Administration Authority (referred to as the PSHCP Administration Authority) is the corporation charged with the administration of the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP). The PSHCP is a private health care benefit program sponsored by the Government of Canada, for public servants and other members of the federal public administration, parliamentarians, federal judges, pensioners, and dependants, as well as members of the Canadian Forces and the RCMP, who may cover their dependants. In addition, coverage is provided to those receiving a pension based on service in one of these categories. It also covers employees of a number of separate employers as well as their eligible dependants and, in some cases, pensioners of these employers. The PSHCP currently offers coverage to over 1,7 million participants. The PSHCP Administration Authority’s mandate is to ensure that benefits and services to plan members and their covered dependants are delivered in a manner that ensures the effective and efficient administration of the plan. The PSHCP Administration Authority is responsible for monitoring the performance and compliance of the plan administrator (Canada Life), considering appeals from plan members and communicating with plan members, as well as other responsibilities.
