note: — ■ ; ';.. "*'.*: = "ST*. ,.- 'W -Ul Doctors approve of high pay limits 'MISUSE OF MONEY' SAYS WHITF Police to check on ■ ■ minister VANCOUVER - Value for service: this is the outcome of a recent decision by British Columbia doctors to impose limits on the fee-for-service payment if doctors see more than 44 patients a day. The decision is a result of a . provftjee-wide BC Medical Association referendum in which doctors were asked to approve changes in the way physicians will charge for seeing patients. TThe decision means that for the first 44 patients in a given day, a doctor will receive the full Med-, ical Services Flajufee. Between the 45th-and 62nd patient, physicians will receive 50 per cent of the fee. After 62 patients they will not be reimbursed at all. Nearly 3;,000 physicians voted, with 62.2 per cent voting in favor, 43.7 per cent opposing the restrictions. For seniors it is also good news, said the BCMA, as the fee payable to a doctor.for their visit will increase. This will encourage physicians to spend more time in dealing with the complexities of the medical problems that are more typical of the elderly population, without increasing the costs to Medicare.
