Buca Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 How do consultation fees work if you are a GP? For example, if another physician refers a patient to be seen by you, do you get to bill A005 Consultation $77.20? What about if you choose to have a focussed practice such as Sports Med or Dermatology and restrict your practice to only seeing referred patients? Eg. would you bill the A005 or the consult fee for Dermatology (A025 $72.15) if you had a derm focussed practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 You would probably still bill A005 as I think A025 is reserved for dermatologists. The fee is essentially the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you bill the regular visit fee (A007 $33.70) on top of this? Not sure about dermatology, but I don't think it would make sense that a GP+1 Derm can bill more per consult ($77.20) than a Dermatologist ($72.15)?

schpurp88 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 yeah, I had questions about this too. Are the consulatation fees the same for derm and family. I think they both should be around 30 dollars right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloh Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 It really depends on the province. In alberta it's about 65$ + x. They're not a bad thing if you set up a niche for yourself. I do all the joint injections in my clinic which others refer for; and it ends up being more because you also bill for the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
