Alberta government reverses course, lifts cap on daily physician billings abhealth ableg abpoli

The cap took effect after the Alberta government

“If lifting this cap allows more Albertans to access a family doctor, then implementing it has denied Albertans access over the last two years in the midst of a global pandemic.” The government’s deal with the AMA sees a one per cent rate increase to physician compensation for 2022-2023, as well as a lump sum one per cent increase as a “recognition payment” for doctors’ work over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. That total payment adds up to about $45 million and will be distributed to doctors through the AMA by the end of the year.
