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 />
