The Ministry of Health, Doctors of BC, and BC Family Doctors through the Primary Care Compensation Working Group (PCCWG) are responsible for the LFP Payment Model and the new Comprehensive Care Payment (CCP).
FPSC has been notified that the PCCWG needs more time to finalize the design and implementation of the CCP. As a result, the CCP launch will be delayed beyond the previously announced April date.
The CCP launch was meant to align with the end of FPSC Transition Funding for Inpatient Care on March 31, 2025. As the CCP launch is now delayed, FPSC approved extending the FPSC Transition Funding for Inpatient Care for up to six months until September 30, 2025—this will support family physicians in providing inpatient care while the PCCWG continues its work. Please note that while FPSC Transition Funding for Inpatient Care continues, implementation of the On-Call/Availability Funding for Inpatient Care will remain on hold.
We believe that the new CCP is part of the solution, and we will continue working with family physicians to understand more deeply the challenges of providing care in facilities.
FPSC values your commitment to your patients and to providing a broad scope of services in your communities. We recognize it has been a year of change and uncertainty, and acknowledge that ongoing work needs to happen to support and sustain care in our communities. FPSC is committed to strengthening and improving inpatient care and is working with the PCCWG through the ongoing changes.
We will provide an updated timeline and details for the CCP as soon as we receive them. More details about any process needed to extend transition funds will be shared with Divisions shortly.
