The Physicians’ Disability Insurance (PDI) plan was one of the first negotiated benefits implemented in BC. It was approved in 1974 after an NDP government was elected in 1972 and there was pressure on the government not to exceed a fixed percentage increase in fees. In lieu of a larger fee increase, the government and physicians agreed to create CME and PDI funds.[1]
