The Audit and Inspection Committee (AIC) is looking to fill positions for Physician Medical Inspectors to add to a pool of doctors who may be called upon to conduct an MSP billing audit if there is one relevant to their specialty. Doctors who have undergone any form of an audit will understand it can be a stressful process. For the physician undergoing the audit, having a peer of the same specialty conduct the review is in their best interest as it may help make the process more manageable.
The AIC will consider any interested physicians, but is particularly seeking physicians in the following Sections:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB /GYN)
- Rheumatology
Candidates must:
- have a minimum of five years’ experience in the applicable specialty
- be an active registrant with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC
- have practices which fall within the accepted standards of the profession or generally designated by the Patterns of Practice Committee (POPC)
- be supportive of the policies and principles of the POPC and licensing body
- have the ability to exercise sound judgment
- have an understanding and knowledge of the MSC payment schedule
- not be subject to circumstances which could give rise to a conflict of interest
- have a minimum of three years’ experience billing fee-for-service in BC
Candidates are preferred to:
- Have five or more years’ clinical experience
- Have three or more years’ experience billing fee-for-service in BC
