Alternative Payments Program

Benefits of Alternative Payments Funding

Alternative funding may be preferable to fee-for-service in some circumstances, such as:

  • it offers a more predictable rate of income for physicians;
  • it provides more reasonable compensation for certain time-consuming services; and
  • it allows compensation for indirect client care (e.g. telephone consultation, client conferences with a multidisciplinary team), as payment is not linked solely to client visits/procedures.
