Extended Visit
A new Extended Visit tariff will be available for family medicine physicians and pediatricians starting October 1, 2023. This new tariff offers an option for more complicated visits, something between an intermediate and complete exam. This is being introduced as a provincial tariff for 18 months and will be evaluated.
Extended visits must involve two or more complaints from the patient and last at least 20 minutes. These complaints must be distinct from one another and should be well documented, including history, advice to the patient, investigations, and plans for future treatment.
The extended visit tariff is like other visit tariffs for family physicians: age modifiers and additional exams can be added on if appropriate. Read more about the simplified visit schedule here (link to be added).
The new tariff is provisional up to and including September 30, 2024. During this period, Doctors Manitoba and Manitoba Health will review the tariff and consider steps to make it a permanent option for physicians and your patients.
