CONSULTATIONS AND VISITS
VIRTUAL CARE SERVICES
   DEFINITIONS:
    For the purposes of this section of the Schedule only, the following Definitions apply:
     Comprehensive Virtual Care Service means a Virtual Care Service rendered where an
     Existing/Ongoing Patient-Physician Relationship exists, and in the physicians’ professional
     opinion in accordance with accepted professional standards and practice, the person's care
     and support requirements can be effectively and appropriately delivered by Video or
     Telephone.
     Existing/Ongoing Patient-Physician Relationship means:
 1. Where a physician is providing a Virtual Care Service to a patient where there has been at least
    one insured service with a direct physical encounter between the patient and that physician
    (Family and General Practice Physician or specialist) in the preceding 24-months; or
 2. Where a physician is providing a Virtual Care Service to a patient who has signed the MOH’s
    Patient Enrollment and Consent to Release Personal Health Information form and is enrolled to
    that physician or another physician within the same group (who is signatory/locum to a MOH
    alternate funding plan agreement); or
 3. Where a specialist or GP Focused Practice Physician is providing a consultation by Video set
    out in Appendix J – Section 1, or has provided any such consultation in the preceding 24-
    months to that patient; or
     [Commentary:
     Where the visit leading to the referral for consultation has occurred virtually, it would be
     expected that the referring physician has an established relationship with the patient and that
     the clinical issue leading to the referral has been assessed in-person within the previous 12-
     months.]
     [Commentary:
     Where a physician who has been paid for a consultation for the patient for the same diagnosis
     makes a request for a referral for ongoing management of the patient, the service rendered
     following the referral is not payable as a consultation, unless the request for referral, if the
     referral is made, allows for an ongoing patient physician relationship in the context of a
     consultation by Video.]
 4. Where a physician provides any of the following services, or has provided any of the following
    services in the preceding 24-months:
            •   A920 – Medical management of early pregnancy - initial service by Video or
                Telephone,
            •   A945/C945 – Special palliative care consultation by Video,
            •   A320/C320 - Special Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) consultation by Video,
            •   A680/C680 – Initial assessment - substance abuse by Video,
            •   A814, A817, A818 – Midwife or Aboriginal Midwife-Requested Assessments
                (MRAs) by Video,
            •   A802 – Extended midwife or Aboriginal Midwife-requested genetic assessment by
                Video,
