Fee-For-Service is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how you can be compensated in your physician job!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Fee for Service is the most widely available payment model found in Canada. Most clinics and health centres operate under this umbrella, and if you\u2019re opening a practice, this is typically the model of payment you would start with. While many people might not be aware of this, there are several other payment models available to physicians, some of which have great benefits that are easy to miss if you aren\u2019t looking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salaries & Alternative Payment Programs<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

These payment models are normally put into place in hospitals and health centres that focus on patient care. For Physicians who are looking to work at their own pace, these models typically allow doctors to take the time necessary to meet with patients and don\u2019t need to feel rushed to see as many patients as possible throughout the day. Oftentimes, these positions also come with Extended Benefits packages, giving you dental benefits, health benefits, a pension plan, and vacation time. These positions can be a great solution those looking for a good work-life balance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enhanced Fee-For-Service<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This form of payment can be found when working with specific patient demographics who work after-hours, or when doctors work together to create a Health Group. They work similarly to FFS (Fee-for-Service) models, but offer bonuses for each enrolled patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blended Capitation<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This model of payment not only grants you Enhanced Fee-For-Service, but also pays you a fixed amount per patient. This is an uncommon form of payment that is very difficult to get approved for unless you have already been working with this model of payment in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n
