Updated July 29, 2024
The Family Practice Services Committee (FPSC) is evolving its funding supports for inpatient and long-term care to align with the LFP Payment Model, which will include these services in June 2024.
For the divisions of family practice and physicians, the changes will mean:
-
New and ongoing funding (via the LFP Payment Model) for clinical services. Divisions will no longer be required to rely on annual FPSC funding announcements to support critical clinical services in their communities.
-
Enhanced role of divisions in supporting physician networks, such as call groups for inpatient and long-term care.
-
Division autonomy in how funds are spent while ensuring equity throughout the province.
-
Support for divisions to transition their inpatient and long-term care programs from current funding structures to a new payment model.
Visit the Doctors of BC website (login required) for the LFP Payment Model inpatient calculator, and the BC Family Doctors website (login required) for the simplified fee guide, FAQs, and additional useful tools.
