🧭 Referral Pathways in Saskatchewan

 

Access to gynecology and endometriosis-related care in Saskatchewan generally requires a referral.

​

Common referral routes include:

​

• A family physician or nurse practitioner

• Primary care clinics or community health centres

• Referrals routed through centralized intake systems, where applicable

​

In many cases, gynecology referrals are managed centrally, with triage based on clinical information. Wait times and access may vary depending on region, service availability, and referral prioritization.

​

Helpful tips when requesting a referral:

​

• Clearly describe symptom severity and impact on daily life

• Ask that suspected endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain be documented

• Inquire about pelvic pain or women’s health services where available

​

Delays in specialist access are a common experience and not a reflection of the legitimacy of your symptoms.

​

♿ Disability & Income Supports in Saskatchewan

 

Some people with endometriosis may qualify for provincial income or disability supports, depending on functional impact.

​

Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID)

​

SAID provides financial assistance and benefits to eligible residents with significant and enduring disabilities.

Eligibility is based on functional limitations and long-term impact, not diagnosis alone. Medical documentation is typically required.

​

✈️ Travel & Out-of-Region Care

 

In some circumstances, individuals may need to travel outside their local area for specialized care.

​

Important considerations include:

​

• Coverage and approval requirements vary

• Some referrals may require prior authorization

• Travel and accommodation costs may not be fully covered

​

If you are considering care outside your region, discuss this early with your healthcare provider and ask about any necessary approvals or documentation.
