Physician Services Agreement initiatives effective April 1, 2024
The Ministry of Health and the Ontario Medical Association have been working together to implement physician compensation increases in accordance with the 2021-24 PSA Year 3 Implementation and 2024-28 Procedural Agreement (the agreement).
A 2.8% compensation increase on physician payments for the period of April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 will occur as described in the agreement. This will be paid as a lump-sum in the Fall of 2024.
The agreement also provides a temporary 2.8% compensation increase on physician payments, including facility costs, for the period April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The temporary 2.8% increase will be applied to the value of fee schedule codes (FSCs). This will be achieved through an update to the Fee Schedule Master (FSM).
