Does your pay align with the care you deliver?
For 75% of all family physicians in Ontario, the unfortunate answer is "NO". Some of the most common reasons for this are:
- Confusing MOHLTC guidelines and reports
- Lack of understanding on how to bill properly and effectively
- Too many administrative tasks taking up clinical time
Our goal is to ensure you are remunerated fairly for the work you perform and the care you deliver. We exist to help you to optimize your income, increase efficiency and flexibility in your schedule, and better-manage the business aspects of your practice.
