Episode description
The new payment model, co-developed by Doctors of BC, BC Family Doctors and the Province, will be available to family doctors beginning February 2023.
It provides another option for family doctors that marks a departure from the fee-for-service model under which doctors are paid based primarily on the number of patients they see in a day. The new model takes into account factors including:
the time a doctor spends with a patient;
the number of patients a doctor sees in a day;
the number of patients a doctor supports through their office;
the complexity of the issues a patient is facing; and
administrative costs currently paid directly by family doctors.
