Family Practice Compensation Models

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ontario Medical Association have developed a menu of innovative and attractive compensation models that reward family physicians for providing comprehensive care to their patients. Compensation is based on blended payments. This means that while a model may be predominantly one form of payment (e.g. capitation), it will have a blend of financial incentives, premiums and other types of payments.

Compensation Applies To:

Fee-for-service plus some incentives and bonuses for services to enrolled patients.

Rostering and Patient Fees (i.e. New Patient Fee) and some incentives, premiums and bonuses, chronic disease management and preventive care are paid for eligible services to enrolled patients. 

Additionally, physicians receive monthly comprehensive care capitation payments for all enrolled patients.

Blended capitation model

Capitation based on a defined basket of primary care services provided to enrolled patients based on age/sex of each patient. Fee-for-service paid for other services. Additionally, physicians receive monthly comprehensive care capitation payments for all enrolled patients. Rostering and Patient Fees (i.e. New Patient Fee), and bonuses, premiums and special payments are paid for services such as chronic disease management, preventative care, pre-natal care and home visits for enrolled patients, and for hospital visits, obstetrical care and palliative care for all patients.

Complement-based base remuneration plus bonuses and incentives

A base payment for a full-time equivalent "complement" in a given community/geographic area in addition to overhead payments, locum coverage, continuing medical education, etc.

Blended salary model

Physicians are salaried employees of Community or Mixed Governance Family Health Teams: salary based on number of enrolled patients, plus benefits, bonuses.

Salaried model

Physicians are salaried employees of Community Health Centres that provide care to a specific identified population.

If you would like more information about family practice compensation models, contact the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Please note: Family practice compensation models are subject to change without notice.
