The FMOQ indicated that the proposal was rejected unanimously by its 150 delegates.
On its website, the Federation notably rejects the government’s proposal to “withdraw family physicians from patients who are registered individually to register them collectively”.
Wage inequity is also a point that brought the rejection of the last proposal when it is pointed out that the government has not launched work on it between men and women unlike other provinces.
The Government of Quebec wanted “a principle of performance, linked to determined relevant performance clinical indicators” by the Ministry of Health.
Quebec has also clearly indicated its wish to change the ways to do on the front line. We find in the government’s proposal the color codes established by the Inesss according to the patient’s health condition which will be used to determine the remuneration of the family doctor.
-The government wants half of the doctor’s salary to rest on the capitation remuneration model, that is to say that instead of being paid for each service rendered, doctors would receive a fixed annual amount for each patient on their list.
Annual color packages would be followed: $ 12 for a green patient (patients with episodic problems); $ 74 for a yellow patient (chronic minor health problems without functional impact); $ 124 for an orange patient (moderate health problems requiring regular monitoring, for example cancer); and $ 223 for a red patient (major health problems with complex conditions).
The FMOQ is against these color codes. “I could give you many examples of patients who are green today and red tomorrow. They may wait before becoming red if we move them away from the family doctor. Because if you are green, you will have more difficulty seeing your family doctor, “said Dr. Marc-André Amyot, president of the FMOQ Canadian press.
