The Manitoba Physician’s Manual is the schedule of fees payable to physicians for insured medical services provided to insured persons enrolled with the Manitoba Health Services Insurance Plan or covered under Interprovincial Reciprocal Billing Agreements, as negotiated between Manitoba and Doctors Manitoba and forming part of the Physician Services Agreement.

The Rules of Application provide the terms and conditions under which fees are to be submitted for payment and provide direction to assist physicians to bill appropriately.

All fee tariffs listed in the Manual, unless specific exceptions are identified, include various additional elements of the medical services in the listed fees, beyond the wording of the tariff. For example, it is presumed that every tariff includes any inquiry of the patient or other source, including review of ongoing medical records, necessary to arrive at an opinion as to the nature and history of the patient’s condition. Physicians should ensure their charting in the patient record provides sufficient information and detail to support the tariff being claimed.

Manitoba Health and Doctors Manitoba are also sources of support to physicians on the requirements of the fee tariffs.
