Physicians need their own primary care provider to support their health. For the past 10 years, the Physician Health Program (PHP) has helped physicians and medical trainees find a family practitioner. Over 650 matches were made in 2024 alone.
Referral process
- If you are a primary care provider willing to accept a referral from PHP, please fill out the Interest Form.
- A PHP administrator will provide your contact details to a physician-patient when there is a request, encourage them to contact you directly and identify themselves as a PHP referral. The physician-patient has three weeks to book an appointment with you, and if they do not book, we give the spot to someone else.
- If the PHP client is receiving other services from PHP, our clinical team will contact you to inform you of the support provided and include you in care planning as appropriate.
- If you are no longer taking patients after indicating interest, please contact us, and we will remove you from the list.
If you have questions, please call us at +1 604 398-4300 or email d4d@physicianhealth.com.
Once enrolled
- PHP will keep your information confidential. By responding, you are not committing yourself to a certain number of patients or making an ongoing commitment to accept referrals from PHP.
- Additional support is available. Please do not hesitate to refer the physician-patient back to the PHP. We have a skilled clinical team, counselling network and suite of physician health services we can leverage to support and connect the physician client with additional services you recommend.
- If taking on this new physician-patient conflicts with your schedule or isn’t a good fit, please let us know, and we will help the physician-patient connect to another practitioner.
- Compensation for accepting a PHP referral will be through standard MSP billing codes for the specific care provided.
