White-Tiger Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well under public healthcare, the government usually does. By government, I usually mean the provincial health insurance plan (OHIP in Ontario, RAMQ in Quebec), etc... And yes, family docs need to get paid much more :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmosis Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 in Canada, it's the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) that determines billing rates for services rendered by physicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The fee schedules are negotiated on a provincial basis between the ministry of health and the province's medical association (ie the OMA in Ontario). One of the reasons for the huge discrepancy in specialists vs family docs fees is that it used to take up a lot of the specialist's time for certain things (like cataract surgery or reading a CT scan). Now these things are done way faster, the fees have not decreased (and if anything have probably gone up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
