The Primary Care Physician Compensation Model (PCPCM) is a compensation option for Family Physicians and Rural
Generalists who practice in Alberta. Jointly developed by the Alberta Medical Association’s (AMA) primary care leaders and Alberta Health, this new alternative payment model will
support comprehensive, longitudinal patient care and support the financial viability of community clinics.
The PCPCM represents a hybrid between Alberta’s default Fee-For-Service funding model (encounter-payments), clinical ARPs (time payment) and capitation (panel and patient complexity-based payment).
Existing compensation agreements will not go away – the PCPCM will join these models as another option for physician compensation in Alberta.
