Please note that Jaimie will be on holidays starting June 27 and returning July 8.

Emails and calls will be monitored once daily during this time, only urgent needs will be responded to.

If you have a question about home oxygen testing or about a client, please call the client's home oxygen company or SAIL.

As of June 1, there will only be three home oxygen companies in Saskatchewan and new SAIL forms are now available.

• Careica Health
• Medigas
• Prairie Oxygen

Vitalaire clients will all be transitioned over to Prairie Oxygen. See new logo above for reference.

Ensure that you check off the correct vendor on the forms. Do not use old forms with the names of previous suppliers (such as RANA or Provincial) as this causes confusion. Please share with your colleagues and physician offices if you are able.

To order new forms, email SAIL at EHB@health.gov.sk.ca or click below. 

It is up to testers to inform clients where to send concerns they are having with a vendor/home oxygen company - Email or call SAIL. SAIL encourages clients to work with their home oxygen provider in resolving issues. However if your client remains dissatisfied with service and wishes to change vendors, please remind the client to ensure that the existing or previous vendor is advised of the intention to switch AND that their equipment has been returned. Also let the new vendor know that the client already has coverage through another supplier.

There have been a number of cases lately where equipment is not returned, most often in situations where the client moves to a long-term care home. In cases where the client or their representatives misplace equipment, the vendor switch will not be activated. SAIL will not pay two vendors for one period for coverage for the same individual so clients may be liable to the new vendor for costs incurred.
