windsormd1 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Everybody keeps saying Alberta FP’s average 300k net after overhead, how true is this? And why? Is it a better reimbursement from the government? Better fee structure? Or just seeing more patients/lack of family doctors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheeler Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Not true as far as I am aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomnias Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'm not sure if that figure is true, but I rotated with an FM who saw maybe 2-3 patients/hr from 9-12 and then 1-2/h from 1-4 only working Mon-Thu in a PCN (the AB equivalent of an FHO?) with no outside work, and he told me he billed $240k the previous year, with a similar setup and 30% overhead. Extrapolating that to someone who sees twice as many patients, it's not hard to imagine netting $300k in FM. Doctors in AB do have a more favourable fee structure than elsewhere (https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/alberta-physicians-remain-nations-highest-paid-statistics-show). I'm told that FM in Edmonton and Calgary is now saturated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktowel Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'm an AB FM R2. Average here is 330k/yr before overhead (including only those grossing >60k/yr). It's the highest in Canada due to the more favorable fee structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on practice style, urban vs rural, still some salary vs FFS models, +1 gigs (Anesthesia, ER, Hospitalist, obs, etc.) Overhead 20-30% usually, some setups, typically rural that <20% McMedicine Docs just doing walk in >70+ patients a day can hit 7 figures - No cap limit on how many patients Many FFS docs hit 400+ gross with or without +1 stuff going on, (includes +1, chronic care, private and public billings). Have to grind it out a bit for 500+. More "relaxed" practice is 300-350 gross. ER or Hospitalist only can run you 300-375 without overhead. Pure rural practice with ER coverage will land you over 500+ but be prepared for the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
