New Graduate. New Patient Fee Effective on the Issuance Date, a FHO Physician who qualifies as a New Graduate shall be eligible to receive the New Patient Fee of $100.00 for each New Patient that he/she enrols up to a maximum of 150 patients during his/her first year of comprehensive primary care practice. For the purposes of this Agreement, a New Graduate is a physician, including an International Medical Graduate, who graduated no more than three (3) years prior to the date that he/she signs the FHO Agreement. For each such enrolment a shadow billing code, Q033A, must be billed in order for payment to be made. In addition, a 10% premium shall be added to this payment for those New Patients between 65 and 74 years of age and a 20% premium shall be added for those patients 75 and over. Note: In order for this fee to be paid, the FHO Physician must, in addition to enrolling the patient, complete with the patient a “New Patient Declaration Form” as set out in Schedule 6 of this Appendix. The Patient Declaration form requires the FHO Physician to agree to provide ongoing Comprehensive Care to the enrolled patient. Please note that the Ministry will undertake periodic reviews of claims for new patients and may request access to the New Patient Declarations, or contact the Physician, or contact the patient to verify the accuracy of the claims.
