Doctors of BC has developed a physician resource web page to keep members updated on the COVID-19 work happening at Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health, the BCCDC, and other organizations. The latest information relating to virtual care, member insurance and benefits during the outbreak, CMPA protections, data from the BCCDC, and more are provided: www.doctorsofbc.ca/working-change/advocating-physicians/coronavirus-covid-19-updates.
This graphic was created by Doctors of BC senior staff as a tool to help the Board of Directors, the Representative Assembly, members, and staff visualize and better understand the complex relationships and reporting structures of the committees and other bodies represented.
The new Business Cost Premium (BCP) was negotiated in the 2019 Physician Master Agreement to help physicians offset some of the costs associated with running their office. Physicians will be able to claim the BCP on fees for consultation, visit, counseling, and complete examination services to help cover the rising rent, lease, or ownership costs of a community-based office. Physicians need to register their facility and attach themselves as a practitioner of the facility. The BCP came into effect 1 April 2020.
