'Over the moon excited': Doctors of BC optimistic over number of physicians signing up for new payment model
‘Over the moon excited’: Doctors of BC optimistic over number of physicians signing up for new payment modelThe president of Doctors of BC says he is optimistic about the number of family doctors signing up for the new pay model.
“At the six-week mark, we’re very pleased that nearly half the physicians across the province have opted into this model, it continues to affirm for me that, I think, this model is reflective of what needed to happen,” said Dr. Josh Greggain said in an interview with CHEK News. In 2021/2022 there were 4,122 physicians working in the province. 2,142 of those doctors have signed on to the new model, according to the Ministry of Health in a statement to CHEK News.
“I am over the moon excited about 48 new physicians to Vancouver Island, I think that’s more than what was expected,” Greggain said. “What it really tells me and tells us is that this model was designed to retain physicians to help look at the cost of business and how they wanted to provide care. But it was really, hopefully, to inspire the next generation of physicians.”
