What's New in Family Medicine

Billing for general practitioners who are involved in patient management is changing rapidly and becoming increasingly complex with the new agreements that have been negotiated. In the midst of newsletters, updates, and communiqués, it can be difficult to understand the intricacies and personal impact that these will have.   

In this episode of the baladoïde podcast, our experts demystify the agreements surrounding patient management in family medicine. They will explain how to adapt your practice to make the most of these new billing arrangements. From group enrolment (Inscriptions collectives) to timely access (Accès en temps opportun), GMF-AR and the guichet d’accès à la première ligne (GAP), all facets of the most recent agreements will be explored.
