MCP Billing Using EMR

When billing from EMR (Electronic Medical Record) there are some forms required (by MCP) to be completed. These forms differ by scenario, as detailed below, and a link to the MCP forms can be found at the bottom of this page.

New Billing Physician

If a provider has not previously registered with MCP, they will need to complete the “Provider Registration” form. If you plan to bill through EMR, you will need to complete the electronic billing application. It is important to note that if you plan to have remittances and action required (TADs) delivered to EMR, you will need to indicate this.

New Locum

If you have previously billed MCP, you will need to submit the locum documentation.  Note this is different if you are a locum in blended capitation clinic. 

Blended Capitation Locum

Blended Capitation Locums are required to complete the Blended Capitation Locum Compendium as well as the Electronic Billing Application.

Salaried Clinician in a FFS Clinic

If you are salaried through the Provincial Health Authority and choose to also work in a Fee for Service (FFS) clinic, you will need to complete the Salaried Physician/Request to temporarily bill through the FFS model.

All users billing through EMR

The Electronic Billing Application needs to be completed for each physician in EACH clinic they plan to bill through EMR. Physicians can choose for each site whether they wish to have remittances and action required (turn around documents) delivered to EMR, they will need to indicate this in the form.

NOTE:  If you selected to receive your remittance and TADs in one EMR you will also get them electronically in any other Med Access site in which you are set up with billing.  You can not have both paper and electronic delivery simultaneously.

IMPORTANT:  if you are working at more that one EMR and would like to bill electronically from both you need to ensure you submit the MCP application form for both sites and if you are a locum you need to submit both billing application and locum form for both sites.

Summary

MCP “Provider Registration” is needed for all physicians who have not previously been registered with MCP.

The MCP Electronic Billing Application needs to be filled out for each new instance a physician is billing from.
