Last-chance to register for retroactive Business Cost Premium payments

June 9, 2021

Community-based family doctors and specialists who are eligible for the Business Cost Premium (BCP) must register by July 31, 2021 in order resubmit billing claims to receive retroactive payments back to April 1, 2020.  

Since April 1, 2020, eligible doctors have been able to receive a percentage premium on MSP fees for in-person consultation, visit, counselling, and complete examination services to help cover the rising rent, lease, or ownership costs of a community-based office.
