        On-call admission assessment
          On-call admission assessment is the first hospital in-patient admission general assessment per
          patient per 30-day period if:
         a. the physician is a general practitioner or family physician participating in the hospital’s on-
            call roster whether or not the physician is on-call the day the service is rendered;
         b. the admission is non-elective; and
      c. the physician is the most responsible physician with respect to subsequent in-patient care.
       The amount payable for any additional on-call admission assessment rendered by the same
       physician to the same patient in the same 30-day period is reduced to the amount payable for a
       general re-assessment.

     General/Family physician emergency department assessment
       General/Family physician emergency department assessment is an assessment of a patient
       that satisfies as a minimum the requirements of an intermediate assessment and is rendered
       by the patient's general/family physician in an emergency department funded under an
       Emergency Department Alternative Funding Agreement (ED-AFA). For that visit, the service
       includes any re-assessment of the patient by the general/family physician in the emergency
       department and any appropriate collaboration with the emergency department physician.
       The service is only eligible for payment when the general/family physician's attendance is
       required because of the complexity, obscurity or seriousness of the patient's condition.
   A100 General/Family physician emergency department assessment                        78.95
       Payment rules:
       No other service (including special visit or other premiums) rendered by the same physician to
       the same patient during the same visit to the emergency department is eligible for payment with
       this service.
          Claims submission instructions:
          For claims payment purposes, the hospital master number associated with the emergency
          department must be submitted on the claim.
          [Commentary:
          1.Services described as A100 rendered in an emergency department not funded under an ED-
            AFA may be payable under other existing fee schedule codes.
          2.In the event the patient is subsequently admitted to hospital, and the general/family physician
            remains the MRP for the patient, the General/Family Physician emergency department
            assessment constitutes the admission assessment. see General Preamble GP41 for
            additional information.]
     Certification of death
       Certification of death is payable to the physician who personally completes the death certificate
       on a patient who has been pronounced dead by another physician, medical resident or other
       authorized health professional. Claims submitted for this service must include the diagnostic
       code for the underlying cause of death as recorded on the death certificate. The service may
       include any counselling of relatives that is rendered at the same visit. Certification of death
       rendered in conjunction with A902 or A777/C777 is an insured service payable at nil.
