Whether you’re just beginning your career as a family physician, preparing to move to Ontario, or exploring a transition to a new payment model, Ontario presents a wide range of opportunities. With increasing demand for family doctors and a significant investment from the province to create and expand primary care teams, now is an ideal time to establish your practice here.Â
The Family Health Organization (FHO) model offers physicians financial stability and supports continuity of care; however, understanding how the OHIP billing system works within this model can be overwhelming. For many physicians, the biggest challenge is simply not knowing where to begin.Â
In this webinar, we walk you through the fundamentals of the FHO model:Â Â
- How the FHO model works and how it compares to other payment modelsÂ
- Steps to get started with FHO billingÂ
- Roster management best practicesÂ
- FHO bonuses and OHIP Ministry reportsÂ
- Income Stabilization ProgramÂ
We also welcomed Dr. Gianluca Calcagno, a new family physician in Ontario, who shared his personal experiences and insights from launching his own FHO practice.Â
