Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 7, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free. Press wednesday february 7, 1968 control of mrs starting july 1, Manitoba doctors will no longer subsidize the Manitoba medical. Service mrs and will give up their control of the mrs Board or. Norman Corne mrs chairman said tuesday the will probably result in slightly higher premiums Start ing july 4. The r idea is to make the privately operated Mills self sustaining instead of being doctor sponsored and subsidized he said. When new mrs Structure is created doctors will accept a slight reduction in the agree ment under which they now receive 90 per cent of their fee from mrs. With the lower percentage doctors will launch a higher Lee schedule the first fee change since 1961. It is expected to be 20.to 25 per cent higher than the present rate. According to one labor picks new president medical spokesman the change May mean Little to the average participant in the mrs plan. This will depend r on the discretion of individual doctors who will now have the right to Bill the patient Over and above their fee received from mrs. Although doctors Are now agreeing a reduction in the mrs agree ment the new fee schedule to be i introduced May result1 in Little change in the amounts they now Are. Entitled to receive the plan. The real meaning of the reorganization is that doctors will now be freeing themselves from their former obligation to accept something less than the full fee for their services when the plan was first started doctors medi Cal members of the plan and signed an agreement saying they would accept whatever mrs paid them As payment in eventually however the Doc Tor members became disillusioned with the pro rated Fea Ture of thei plan and claimed that although it looking after Low income families who could t afford to pay regular medical Bills it was also under charging Many who could afford to pay to meet this objection the plan decided to allow doctors to Levy additional charges in the cases of families with incomes of More a year. Under the new set up while most of the Cost of medical service will be paid by mrs doctors will be free to charge patients tse difference Between what they receive from mrs and the full fee. In. Other words doctors will now be free to charge or not according to the patient s ability to pay. Now however this surcharge will apply Only to a percentage of the total fee that not paid by mrs. It is believed the slightly higher mrs premiums expected to be charged will be the result of an attempt on the part of mrs to pay doctors As close to the new fee schedule As possible without at the same time losing subscribers. Or. Come said that until july 1, doctors will Bill mrs at a ate lower than 80 per cent in order to absorb the deficit mrs to have y july 1. When the doctors end Leir subsidy on that Date mrs will be or. Aid. United health private Agency ends mrs coverage will offer patients insurance covering any extra Billing from doctors said r.
