Effective October 1, 2025, family physicians/general practitioners with additional qualifications may be eligible to bill a new fee code (14B) for consulting patients referred by a nurse practitioner (NP).
The Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) and the Ministry of Health have worked collaboratively to establish a solution within current legislative boundaries of the Saskatchewan Medical Care Insurance Payment Regulations, that enables family physicians with additional training to bill a new service code (14B) comparable to a consultation when seeing patients referred to them by NPs.
Relevant details regarding this service code are available on the SMA website.
