Collaborating on MSP administration

The Medical Services Commission is a statutory body made up of representatives from Doctors of BC, the BC government, and the public that manages the Medical Services Plan (MSP) in accordance with the Medicare Protection Act and Regulations. This unique partnership ensures doctors, government, and BC residents all have a voice in the administration of MSP.

The Medical Services Commission manages the provision and payment of medical services in an effective and cost-efficient manner and ensures that all BC residents have reasonable access to medical care.

Medical Staff Associations (MSAs) are made up of facility-based physicians who engage with health authorities so that together they can address health care system challenges and support quality patient care

Seventy-five MSAs around the province are now funded by Doctors of BC and the BC government through the Facility Engagement Initiative, a program of the Specialist Services Committee.
