BC Medical Services Commission Financial Statements"The Schedule of Payments is published in compliance with the Financial Information Act and B.C. Regulation 371/93, and lists the gross payments made for the cost of insured services paid to each individual account of at least $25,000 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. All other accounts are shown as a consolidated total.
The information is presented in three categories:
1. Practitioners
Payments to Practitioners are reported alphabetically under the practitioner who performed the services, except when the practitioner is associated with a hospital, laboratory, or health authority. Payments include fee - for - service to residents of British Columbia and other jurisdictions, locums, Medical On-Call Availability Program, rural retention, recruitment and education programs, isolation allowance, and interest. The practitioner payments
exclude benefit payments, which are reported under the British Columbia Medical Association (BCMA).
Payments made on behalf of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia and WorkSafeBC are not included in the payment amount.
2. Organizations
Payments to Organizations are reported alphabetically by organization (health authority, hospital, group, clinic or Division of Family Practice). The payments reflect the total amounts paid to a particular account.
3. Other Accounts
Other Accounts report payments to other provincial agencies, out-of-province payments, miscellaneous payments, account payments under $25,000, adjustments (such as accruals), and reciprocal agreement recoveries.
Readers of this Schedule of Payments should understand that it provides only a record of gross payments. In some instances, the recorded figure is a payment for the services of a number of practitioners. Practitioners must pay the expenses of their practice out of this gross amount. No calculation of a practitioner’s net income can be made from such figures. Conclusions cannot be drawn from these figures about the relative net income of any practitioner since overhead varies greatly from practitioner to practitioner."
