Introduction
Alternative Relationship Plans (ARP) are different methods of physician compensation, for delivering specific program services, other than the traditional fee-for-service model. Approximately 3,200 physicians in Alberta practice in various capacities under both clinical and academic ARPs. Work continues to enable physicians to join and benefit from the advantages of ARPs.
The purpose of an ARP is to provide innovation in clinical service and enhance other areas of the health care system that includes recruitment and retention, team-based approach, access, patient satisfaction and value for money.
ARP models
How the new primary care physician compensation model works and when it will start.
Many physicians are compensated through Academic Medicine and Health Services Program to provide patient care and to research, teach or lead.
A Clinical ARP compensates physicians for providing a set of clinical services at defined facilities to a target population.
Learn about the Blended Capitation model (BCM) ARP and how it increases access to primary health care for Albertans.
