Ontario to reduce fees to doctors billing more than $1M a year

Ontario would reduce fees paid to doctors who bill over $1 million a year as part of a new offer to the province’s medical association.

The government’s proposed three-year plan to the Ontario Medical Association — whose members rejected a government contract offer last summer — takes a Robin Hood approach, trimming payout to some doctors and for some procedures that can be conducted faster with new technologies to give lower-paid family doctors an extra $185 million a year.
