As of today, June 24, 2024, family physicians providing inpatient care, pregnancy and newborn care, long-term care and palliative care in facilities can now bill under the Longitudinal Family Physician (LFP) Payment Model. 

This marks a significant milestone in our journey to bolster primary care for all British Columbians. The expansion of the LFP Payment Model gives family doctors working in facilities the ability to better provide long-term, palliative, hospital and maternity care. It’s one more step forward to making sure everyone has access to high-quality, timely primary care.

“The LFP Payment Model has been transformational in strengthening primary care,” says Dr. Tahmeena Ali, Past-President of BC Family Doctors. “This expansion means family doctors providing care in facilities are being valued for the critical work they do to ensure British Columbians get the best care possible.”

Physicians can learn more about the expansion to facility-based care by viewing our LFP Payment Model resources and Simplified LFP Guide.
