Reminder to submit GPSC portals 14070/71
Eligible family physicians are reminded to submit the GPSC Portal (G14070) or GPSC Locum Portal Code (G14071) at the start of the new year.
Submission of G14070 signifies that a family physician is:
- Providing full-service family practice services to patients and will continue to do so for the duration of that calendar year.
- Confirming doctor-patient relationship with existing patients through a standardized conversation or “compact.”
Submission of G14071 signifies that a family practitioner is:
- Providing full-service family practice services to the patients of host physicians who have submitted G14070, and will continue to do so for the locum coverage.
Submitting G14070/G14071 enables family practitioners to be eligible to bill the following fee codes:
- G14075 GP Frailty Complex Care Planning and Management Fee
- G14076 GP Patient Telephone Management Fee
- G14077 GP Allied Care Provider Conferencing Fee
- G14078 GP Email/Text/Telephone Medical Advice Relay Fee

Additionally, submitting G14070 on an annual basis is a requirement of the new GPSC Community Longitudinal Family Physician Payment. Visit http://gpscbc.ca/news/news/new-payment-support-longitudinal-care for more information.
