Health Care Card - Temporary absence from the Yukon

If you are an eligible Yukon resident and you will be away from the territory for more than six months, you will be covered for physician and hospital services only.

You are advised to contact Insured Health Services if you will be away from the Yukon for more than two months.

Students in full time attendance at a university or other recognized post secondary institution are covered for physician and hospital services,  provided they return to the territory at least once every 12 months.

Yukon health care coverage will end after 12 months of continuous absence unless a waiver is obtained from Insured Health Services.
