Remuneration for Providers

Issues related to interdisciplinary collaboration may be made more complex because of the need to discuss models of payment for non-physicians, either:

• Fee-for-service billings by other professionals
• The development of comprehensive remuneration models for entire groups, negotiated with provincial / territorial Ministries of Health and redistributed internally
• Negotiated lump-sum or other payment methods for non-physician professionals
