B.C. announces long-awaited new payment model for family doctors
B.C. announced a new payment system for family doctors Monday , which promises to compensate them based on total time spent rather than by patient visit.
Under the fee-for-service system, doctors are paid around $30 per visit regardless of its complexity or length and regardless of how much time they spend on those patients outside their actual appointments. Family physicians say the model has left them underpaid and burned out. The new payment model looks to correct that with a 54 per cent increase in salary, and a system that compensates doctors for visits, hours, and volume and complexity of patients.
