Long-term and Palliative Care

Long-term and palliative care will be part of the LFP Payment Model. Payment for services in long-term and palliative care facilities will be based on time and interactions, with rates based on the common workflows for long-term and palliative care from admission to end of life/discharge. There is also a premium on after-hours direct patient care time.

The Family Practice Services Committee (FPSC) has developed new on-call/availability payments for long-term and in-patient care. Please visit the FPSC website for more information on the new on-call/availability payments.

More information on the LFP Payment Model for facility-based care will be shared in the coming months. To access the most up-to-date information on LFP facility-based care, visit BC Family Doctors’ webpage on LFP Payment Model: Long-term care, BC Family Doctors’ webpage on LFP Payment Model: Palliative care or Doctors of BC’s LFP Payment Model. More information will be shared in the coming months.
