For Roster/Capitation how are the doctors paid?
Average FFS visit is ~$33/visit in BC and Ontario.

In Capitation model, physicians are paid by the number of patients that they enroll onto their roster. The physician is paid a certain amount per month that the patient remains on their roster (fee varies according to age and co-morbidities). However, if that same patient visits another family MD (e.g. walk in clinic), then the cost of that visit (e.g. $33) gets deducted from your capitation. Hence there is incentive for the physician to make themself available for the patient and trying to keep their patients as healthy as possible.

There are also bonus incentives for meeting certain metrics (e.g. % of patients who received age-appropriate cancer screening, vaccinations etc) which can add up to several tens of thousands per annum.
