BREAKING: The Alberta government says a Calgary medical clinic that was planning to charge membership fees for faster access to a family doctor has cancelled the approach ahead of its introduction.
Global News has also received a copy of a letter from a patient at another Calgary medical clinic facing “concerning changes.”Karen Parker and Noreen Antonishyn advised patients they would no longer be at the clinic as of July 28, as they were starting their own “private pay, primary clinic.”
The letter stated they had proposed a solution to the province: “the political will to publicly fund NPs in an equal pay for equal work model remains unmet.”The letter also said it was unclear if they would be replaced. Global News contacted the clinic to find out, but did not receive a response.University of Calgary legal and medical expert Lorian Hardcastle said that is a concern.
