Alberta physicians say they can’t wait any longer for the province’s promised Physician Comprehensive Care Model, which would help ease current financial pressures.
In December, Health Minister Adriana LaGrange committed to creating and implementing the Physician Comprehensive Care Model or PCCM by fall 2024. In April, the province, along with the Alberta Medical Association, started developing it. Global News asked the minister’s office if the province can expect this model in 2024. The office responded with a statement that said Alberta’s government is committed to finalizing a compensation model that is “financially sustainable and supports both physicians and Albertans into the future.”“We are committed to finalizing the key details of this agreement as soon as possible,” the minister’s office said.
