Part 3 of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act came into effect on November 4, 2019. As part of this new legislation, it is required that an Incapability Assessment Report be completed if concern is raised that an adult is not capable of consenting to admission to a care facility. Currently, there is no existing fee that family physicians can bill to MSP for the Incapability Assessment and completion of the required form.
BC Family Doctors has successfully advocated for family physicians to be able to bill the Miscellaneous fee code 00199 in the amount of $225 for the Incapability Assessment and Report. Please include a note stating “for incapability assessment report” when you bill this.
