The Practice Support Program (PSP) is excited to share an update on its evolving service delivery model. PSP originally launched in 2007 with a goal of providing module support to physicians and, over the years, PSP has continually refined its goals and services to better align with the developing needs of physicians and BC’s health care system.
The GPSC is delighted to welcome Dr Fiona Duncan as a Doctors of BC representative to the Committee. Dr Duncan has been very involved in the A GP For Me Working Group, and now co-chairs that working group.

Guided by physician voices, the GPSC is pleased to introduce a new fee code, 14019, that supports collaboration between family physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs). The new $40 fee code will be effective January 1, 2015. Funding has been approved to December 31, 2015 and will then be evaluated for its usefulness by the GPSC. Watch for fee details in the MSP Broadcast in mid-December.
