C UNINSURED SERVICES<br />

NOTE: Physicians must always use discretion when billing for uninsured services.<br />

Physicians should:<br />

• consider the well-being of the patient<br />

• treat all patients with respect<br />

• in determining professional fees for non-insured services, consider nature<br />

of service and the patient’s ability to pay<br />

• never discriminate against a patient (age, race, gender).<br />

For patients not covered by MSP or Interprovincial Reciprocal Agreement (e.g.,<br />

non-Canadians or those from Quebec) GPs are encouraged to use the BCMA<br />

rate for all services provided. For out-of-country patients check the latest CMPA<br />

recommendations.<br />

For private and non-insured rates for all fees, please refer to the BCMA list<br />

available April 1 annually.<br />
